On my way to Surgery Center Now..



Recommended Posts

THank you everyone for the Prayers and positive words. I am so grateful and very appreciative for all the support. I was able to be home by 1pm.

I actually feel hungry and that my "thirst" is unquenchable. I have had 1 SF Popsicle with no problem and tried chicken broth and about threw it up. So, no chicken broth today. I might try a Protein shake later tonight.

I have been able to git rid of most of my gas pain by placing my arms above my head and breathing deep. I did discover I had a hiatle hernia and the doc repaired that today as well. Defiantly still have pressure by my collar bone but it maybe 1/4 of the strength that it was coming out of surgery.

Over all , I'm looking forard to recovery. Thank you again guys, and CHEERS to BandLand

Thank you again to everyone, 1 day Post op and I am definitely learning to pace myself with Drinking. Overall, the majority of the Gas pain has surpassed and I am up walking around. I have walked the grocery store and will be going on another small walk around the block later today. I find that the walks help keep my sanity.

I feel a little bad though, my husband brought some food, cracker and Starbursts into the bedroom this AM, I asked him to keep them in the other room out of eye range until I could at least eat something pureed.

O-Well, 1 day at a time. I am so happy :)

      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. 🤞
