just a note to let everyone know I am home from surgery. I had to stay en extra night because of a hernia the repaired along with the sleeve.

doing ok so far, I am getting my Water, Jello down. My biggest problem right now is being able to sit still. slept a little bit since coming home, but now I am figity.

any ideas to help?

oh and the process was smooth, they make you feel very comfortable. I was not even nerous when they put the mask on

hope everyone else is doing good

Sounds like you are doing really well. I'm happy for you. As far as being figity...I'm not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if all the drugs in your system could do that. It takes a while for them to get flushed out. Best of luck with your recovery.

Congrats and glad you are doing well! I would say, go with the fidgety lol because you are supposed to move as much as possible. I got up every 15 minutes to go get my ounce of liquid from the kitchen. I moved a lot and I think it really helped me heal quicker. But I'm sure it's also bothering you when trying to sleep and in that case I'm not sure what to suggest except maybe trying to stretch your legs and arms well and drink something warm.

Welcome home and thank you for letting us know how things are going. About the fidgety feeling, I haven't been sleeved yet but did have that same feeling after having an ovary removed. I chalked it up to feeling good, having the right amount of pain med, and that nesting feeling...but I couldn't do anything. All of a sudden those dust bunnies that have become household pets were on my top pest list, lol. Oddly enough, as I healed enough to take care of those types of things my concern about them waned to pre-surgery levels.:blushing:

Hey Sherri, Judy, and Jave. Congrats everybody! Looks like the June 22nd crew made it home intact. I alternated between mild fidgeting and extreme sleepiness in the hospital. When I was fidgety, I walked. When I was sleepy, I napped. It seemed to balance out because the hospital staff said I was doing really well with my walking. I'm still a little uncomfortable and looking forward to that big turning point when I start to feel "normal" again.

      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.
