Good luck Time4Kim!! You'll do great! The folks at Memorial Hospital were awesome, so no worries :-) Can't wait to hear from you.

So, three of us tomorrow, right? Good luck to us all. So glad to hear that the other that have gone in the past week are doing well. Love to hear the "easy" recovery stories! Wishing easy recoveries for all of us! I'm just anxious to get started. I want to get past the "anything through a straw" phase and mushy food phase. Ready for the journey to begin.

I was told to use ice the first 24 hours to reduce swelling and help with gas. Just an FYI - cvs has an ice pack that says peas cold therapy. Love it! It's soft and flexible and not heavy. Lays straight across my stomach. The hospital gave me 3 that I can refill but they aren't as good. I have been using them to lay across each shoulder for gas.

Solson8201- how are you feeling today?

Sore, but okay. I didn't fill the pain rx, Tylenol is good enough. Gas X is helping with the gas pains too. How about you? Getting in your fluids ok?

Checking in - Surgery went well. I am majorly sore right now, but it this is the worst of it, I'm okay with that. Am home and happy for that. Took some pain med and zonked out for 3 hours. No shoulder pain, but I don't think Im past that hurdle yet.

Hello thirdtimesacharm. Welcome. I am a newbie here. I was banded on June 11th. How are you feeling? How did your surgery go? How is your pain level? It is so great to have buddies on here. After all we are all the same amazing journey!

Time4kim- how did yours go today?

Everything went great, went in for surgery at 11, was home by 430. Mild pain so far, most of that being the trapped gas. Been walking a lot and sipping away on Water and Gatorade. No hunger at all.

How are you doing?

      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.

      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.
