It seems like some doctors like to keep people overnight' date=' and others would rather have them out the door as soon as they are awake.[/quote']

I don't know that it is always the doctors but the insurance companies. It seems that insurance companies only pay up to 23 hours of hospital care for what is considered an "outpatient" procedure.

Does anyone have any tips for nausea? I took the nausea pill I was prescribed but It's not going away... My stomach is all rumbly :-(

You should ask your doctor... I was given Rectal suppositories for nausea because anything by mouth was not working for me.

I was self-pay. Insurance had nothing to do with mine.

Well vomited all that back up. Now they're gonna keep me overnight. I'm so groggy still like I wanna go to sleep but can't. My chest hurts really bad, especially when I try & breathe right. But other than that I'm great! Lol!

Sounds like you might need some more pain meds. Also, I only did Water for the first 24 hours, then just Clear Liquids.< /p>

Slept pretty good from 10-315...got up cuz i had to pee...decided not to lie back down because the pain of standing up from the bed..was HELL!

walked up and down our hallway a few times and then sat down here in recliner..gas pain in chest and back is bad...but soreness by incisions is ok while im sitting. chair is up higher than bed so getting up from here isnt as bad as the bed.

one of the things that is almost as annoying as the pain...the damn itching around the incisions, and around the tape that holding the gauze over the port....driving me nuts.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
