Tomorows The Big Day!



Recommended Posts

Currently waiting to see the anesthesiologist...It's finally here, feeling pretty nervous but super motivated, as of today I'm down 23lbs in 3 weeks on my pre-op diet! Woohooo!!!

I bought boots yesterday that go up to my knee and tights that I don't have to cut in the crotch to fit me. Down one pant size, but I didn't buy any in hopes that I would grow out of them too quickly ;) These little successes are so exciting, I'm feeling a little bit more like myself again day after day!

I'm in the lobby at the Cambie Surgical Centre waiting for my appt. with my anesthesiologist, then off to buy some post op liquids and some new bed sheets as a treat to myself :)

Wish me luck!

<3

Thanks guys! Everything went well today with my band surgery according to my nurse and surgeon :) I was in a lot of pain went I came to, it felt like i had done 1000 crunches the day before, yeouch! they gave me extra codeine. And then the nausea started...so they have me extra gravol. I was in my clothes and shoes and chillin in an upright chair within an hour.

When I got home I was felling pukey... I didn't want to throw up, tried very hard not too but I couldn't help it. It was just a little bit of Water and I felt much better after. I've been dozing on the sofa and taking small sips of Water (my mouth has been really dry). I've had a bit of shoulder pain from the gas, the pain from when I woke up was supposidly from that too.

All in all, other than the few hours of being dopey and feeling like I was going to be sick it's all good! Its kind of a bizarre feeling though, knowing its inside and that I'm finally here, I've wanted this for 10 years. New chapter began today, exited for the future :)

Wishing you all luck that have their surgeries coming up <3 love and light!

Hello everyone! So I was banded yesterday around noon. Everything went fine.y surgeon requires an overnight stay in the hospital so I'm still here. I'm not experiencing a lot of pain more soreness than anything. I do have a pain pump too:-) so that may be why I'm not in much pain lol. I wanted to update yesterday hut I slept most of the day. I've had mybupper GI xray performed to ensure proper placement and now i get some Clear Liquids. Yay! As far as I know I'll be going home sometime today. Thanks for all the warm wished and prayers!

        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.

      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
