Soon to have the sleeve



Recommended Posts

Thanks for posting that picture. It's adorable. i am so glad you were all there at the same time. That's so great!

You'll feel better really soon. I guess I don't know how lucky I was that I could drink a lot of liquid without pain right from the beginning. I wonder why that is.

I have no idea, I have heard that for most people it is easy. I still can't drink really anything, my tummy cramps right up. I am pretty much living on popcycles right now, I have one every few hours. It is the only thing my tummy wont cramp on, but it is starting to worry me a bit. This is day 5 and I would think by now I could handle other things. I am gonna wait another day and see if it improves and then call Renee again if it has not.

I loved that picture, even though we were all pretty drugged up in it! All the girls agreed I could put it up, we thought it was fun, it was great having them there.

As for pain progress, the only place I still hurt is where the bag was, none of the other incisions hurt at all. However where the bag was is still pretty painful, but hey its only been 5 days and I am a wimp! I am staying with my mom right now so she can deal with the kids while I rest, so that helps! I have great family support!

Update you all soon!

They tell me my recovery was so easy because I have been doing crunches every day for the last 5 years. I get the muscles are strong or something.

I am excited to get back to the gym I miss working out. I am grumpy when I don't get my gym time.

So guess what guys....my sister just set a date for surgery with Dr. Aceves in July!!!! I am so excited for her! (Hopefully she won't mind me posting this) It looks like I will be going back down there with her also, so I will get to visit everyone at the hospital again!

Is she "pampered" like you? :) Think Dr. Aceves can handle it?

(Sorry, just couldn't resist - hope you don't mind)

That's great! Tell her congrats! Is she posting here?

She has to start her own thread on the "Tell Your Story" section. ;o)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
