surgery today, part two to my story



Recommended Posts

Well surgery was Friday and the staff here was very sympathetic to my previous experIence and walked me through VERY slowly I woke up with no issues but dang if I didn't have buyers remorse. Day two stank badly and again I questionned why I felt the need for this. But today is day three I am up walking around a ton and feel so much better then yesterday. Today I feel like I got punched in the gut but other then thatAnd residual weakness from anesthesia things are going better. The doc shoul be in soon to do m leak test then I go to motel here for a night and home tomorrow! Yay I miss my husband and boys! Though my mom been the rock for me here.

I will post more when I get home and have my laptop handy

Best wishes!!!

I am doing great and I am almost half way home. We are driving through loa Angeles right now. I can't wait to see my hubby and kids. If you would have asked m th second day post op how I thought I woupd be feeling today, I certainly wouldn't have been this good. I have residual abdomenal pain but mostly tender to touch only. I am getting my energy back but I have a lingering headache I refuse to take anything for at thiz moment. The doc sent me home with some and I googled them they are nsaids. I thought those were no no's I am taking my stomach acid protector and an antacid the prescribed. I think I'm a little leery of the drugs you can't get in USA! Call me ocd who knows. I will take those and the antibiotic the pain stuff can kiss my rear.

I will report a blow by blow later when I'm not travelling in a car! Thank you all again, also any headache medicine suggestions are welcome.

      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
