Wow good job. Did you feel like you could move better when the staples were out? Are your abs still tender? I didn't realize how much I used my abs until surgery.

Yay! I'm 2 weeks today and am getting my staples out this morning. I'm feeling better each and every day :)

That is encouraging. I am 2 days out and wondering if I did the right thing. I keep telling myself I did but because of the pain and now hunger I wonder.

I could've written that same thing. In the first couple of days, I was in a lot of pain and had so much nausea. I really questioned myself on whether or not I did the right thing. Day #9 was the turning point where I felt like myself enough to get out of the house and be with other people. I'm still only 2 weeks out, but I do feel better. I'm hungry though! I've been on liquids for just shy of 4 weeks now (including pre-op diet). I'm ready to move on to mushies/purees. I'm hoping to get that "ok" today when my staples come out!

I appreciate that I hope that things get better and that I will feel like I did the right thing.

I didn't have an open procedure. My surgeon chose to close the 4 incisions with staples. When they came out today, I was told that my incisions look fantastic. They weren't crusty or weepy, which I guess happens a lot from what I was told.

I didn't had an open procedure but have 5 small incisions but did have staples. Incisions look good just really sore.

      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.
