Way to go.... I was exactly one week ahead of you (Dr. Barnes at Forest Park). Did you go to Forest Park? Excellent place. You will be so surprised how well you feel in a week. I still have some soreness around the left large incision (more tender and swollen) but I went back to work full time yesterday and did very well.

Keep walking! take care of yourself! biggrin.gif

Hey Joe,

I was just wondering a few things...Are you cold? I have been quite chilly. Do you still have your staples? I am supposed to get them taken out on Tuesday .

Not having any pain today, but my stomach is rolling quite a bit. I am thinking that is my tummy emptying. Keep me posted and let me know how you are doing..

hi joes, I just added you as a friend so I can watch what you're up to!

I was sleeved Monday 3/7 by Dr. Kim too. I ended up staying an extra day in the hospital, i think because of a reaction to the anesthesia - I wasn't able to get anything down until wednesday morning, so they kept me in the hospital on an IV.

It's slow going at home, but it's getting a little easier every day, so i'm hopeful.

I'm looking forward to following your progress, since we're sleeve buddies.

<3

      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
