I don't know you but I could hear the fear through your post. You are brave to do what you did and keep hanging in there b/c you are halfway there. Like others have said, everyone is different. Do your best to remain calm and let the doctors just analyze what is happening. I truly believe that you are going to be ok. I will pray for you and for peace of mind. I know I can get so anxious sometimes and start to panic. One day I will be where you are and I hope that I can remember to tell myself this same advice!! I know it will be ok. You are going to do great!! Just rest and believe that with every second that goes by you are getting closer to total healing!

I'm sorry that your having a rough go of it but I'm glad that your leak tests have shown no problem there. It probably is a reaction to the anesthesia. My surgeon kept me in hospital 5 days. I get that your anxious to feel better and go home. You'll be there soon. And each day will bring a little more healing. I too will say a prayer for you Anna.

I had nausea in the hospital also. I kept throwing up old blood and maybe medication. It seemed like I was going to throw up until every little speck of it was out. I realized this and started not taking the nausea medicine b/c I wanted to get it out of my system. That worked for me. I was in the hospital 3 days and I felt horrible and was totally out of it and kinda scared what have I done, etc. But hang in there, once they tell you to take a shower and go home you will probably rise to the occasion and feel better.

      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.
