Thank you, Desoto!

I'm feeling better then I thought I would. Doc said I could have anything I want to eat that is liquid and fits through a straw. So far, so good! I appreciate your well wishes!! :)

So happy for you ladyLeigh! I was banded Friday and the gas is the only thing bothering me. Careful, I have always known that hot or cold gives more gas! Dr said room temp! Ask about that all Dr's are different! Happy for you!!!

Well tomorrow is my day. It took me working 18hrs at work (should have only had to work 12 these past two days), 2.5 hours at Walmart, and a trip to CVS but I think I'm ready. Going to bed soon at I have to be at the surgery center at 6am. Good luck to everyone else being banded tomorrow!

It's nearly 3am and I'm up … nearly 1 day post-op … feeling good! Gas up in the left shoulder/neck area … some soreness around my middle, but the girdle they wrapped around me is offering a lot of support. Walking around helps, a good burp never felt so good! LOL! :D I have been taking my pain meds and following all of doc's orders … walking around, doing that breathing thing, using my pillow to get out a good cough, and so far I have gotten down a half cup of Soup, Water, tea, about a half cup of Protein Shake, and a grape sugar-free popsicle. Yum!

Thank God all has gone well … I think once this gas pain is gone I will feel much, much better! How is everyone else doing??

Congrats to everyone getting banded today!!! I will be sending prayers your way! :wub:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
