I'm staying overnight. Into surgery around 7:45am and I'm told it took about 50 minutes and the doc pronounced my liver "lovely". Stomach is sore and a headache. No bad gas pains (yet). Walking feels good. Ice pack on the tummy feels good. Hubs is here with me now, parents and sister earlier. Sis has also elected to sleep over on my room. Discharge after upper GI tomorrow

Morning.

Glad u are home kbush!

If it hurts your stomach when you cough ask for a abdominal belt it works wonders!

I didn't have time to ask. I was in and out in 4 hours. Seriously I was back home by 11am.

It took me 2 days to finish a bottle of Water after surgery. Today is day 3 post-op. I'm feeling much better. I have a few tender spots on my tummy but that's it. My leg muscles are sore from the socks they had on me during surgery. They fell like I've been at the gym working out. I wish they would have put those on my arms also. #instantWorkout

LOL

I'm so happy u r feeling that well... Are u sleeping in a bed? I been on a chaise loung cause its low to the ground so it's easier to get in and out of. My mom sleeps on the couch with the TV on. My back is starting to hurt and also the tv is driving me nuts because it keeps me up. I'm afraid if I lay in a bed I won't be able to get up

My moms bed is super high so my dad found a step stool so I used that to get on and omg totally worth it i use headboard and walker arms to help me get up. The relief I have on my back is incredible I feel all my muscles finally stretching try to find a step stool or even a cinder block to step up onto.

      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.
