I slipped, too - just got back from dr



Recommended Posts

Y'all bring tears to my eyes. Thanks so much for your concern, well wishes and prayers - I need them all!

I thought I was doing better yesterday after the dr. unfilled me completely - the nausea was better and I was able to drink a bit in the evening but about an hour after going to bed it all came back up.

Dr. Kuri called me this morning to see how I was doing and I let him know what was going on - he said that if things aren't better by this afternoon I'll need to go into the hospital today to be put on fluids before he can do surgery either tomorrow afternoon or Monday morning.

Keep those prayers a-coming!

Lots of love,

Shanna (((hugs))),

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. You have all my thoughts and prayers hoping for a full recovery. And if for some reason you do need to have the surgery to repair the slip, you'll have all of those thoughts and prayers directed for a successful surgery.

*sending you happy, pleasant thoughts for a positive recovery. Hopefully without surgery*

Good Luck

4:15 a.m. and can't sleep-my tummy hurts and is nauseous and burning. I'm just so tired of being in pain all the time. I go in on Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. for surgery and I'm scared, but relieved that maybe this will fix all the problems I've been having.

I think the slip may have been gradual at first because I've pretty much been in pain since January. I had a series of unfills then - then again in March. Things just haven't felt "right". So maybe it's a good thing it slipped completely - giving me the chance to get "fixed".

Even through all this I am glad to have my band - How crazy does that sound? Is losing weight really that important that I'm willing to be in constant pain? Yep! I think I need a brain transfusion while I'm there....

Thanks again for all you good thoughts - they are appreciated very much! It's so nice to have someone to talk to at 4 a.m.

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

      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
