Nothing serious is wrong, its just the gas pain is just horrible for me. I am prolly a big baby, but its just so much worse than I expected.... ugh. I cant wait for this part to be over! For me it all went down hill after they took my precious pain pump away in the hospital lol. THey still gave me pain medicine, but it was SO hard to choke that down, it still is! I can barely get it down! Yuck! Today is better than yesterday, and hopefully tomorrow will be better than today! GOOD Luck on your surgery!! :) I Have to keep telling myself, I'm doing this for a reason, and no pain no gain! OR loss in our case! :)

Hey Sarah,

are you feeling any better? Did you try Gas-X?

Hey ya'll, I'm from Ky, Fleming County to be exact......no one seems to of heard of Fleming County hehehe. It is about a hour 1/2 depending on traffic, from Georgetown Hospital.

I had my surgery on May 14, everything went great, Dr Weiss and his staff & the hospital are wonderful, I wouldn't change a thing. ( the gas part kinda sucked but I notice a lot of people seem to have that issue)

It is so nice to meet everyone :D

      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
