Hi all, I can't post to our feb group from my phone so I'm posting here. I'm at the hospital ready for my 12 pm surgery. My band is getting replaced and I am so psyched to be a big loser again!!

Hi ladies! Bit of a bumpy start for me but improving. I have a morphine sensitivity and get heart palpitations so they go with different drugs. Well the other drug was doing it, too, so it took like 6 hours to get my pain out of control. Of course the majority of the pain is gas, and every time u get out of bed I'm doing better bit by bit. I haven't done a lap yet but can get in and out of bed on my own.

I'm staying overnight and hope to be discharged tomorrow.

Doc said my stomach was really skinny :)

Moving around much better. My gas shoulder pain is diminished and I'm on liquid Tylenol. I felt totally and completely awful yesterday, let me tell you. But it gets better so fast.

I should be discharged in a few hours and start the 3 hr trip home. The doc said because my stomach was so skinny she could have filled it to 4 but left it empty to be safe. For which I'm glad. Trying to drink all the Water I can ... While I still can take a somewhat normal mouthful ... And have decided that Propel sucks. :)

Hope my other Feb 4 bandsters are ok! And I think someone is getting banded today but I can't view the group on the iPhone.

      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.
