I am sitting in hospital waiting for my turn. had my xray and ekg and blood drawn am in my gown. Have my iv, but duh. They told me to get into gown and give urine sample, but I remembered gown and just went to bathroom normal. Since I havent had anything to eat, drink, I am hoping I pee again soon. Someone is in surgery now, dont know if they are out yet.

I feel calm, btw. My biggest concern at moment is that its that time of month and I dont know how that will affect any surgical stuff. I cant remember if I have to have catheter I have visions of soaking the surgical table, kotex stat nurse!. I dont have my stockings yet.

I hope you are recovering well! I went to Dr. Kelly on 3/1/11. You are in good hands! My sleeve is working wonderfully for me. I was the first surgery he did on my day and I have to admit I was so grateful for that! I would have drove myself crazy waiting for my turn! I can't wait to hear how you are doing! These first few days can be rough but you will feel much better soon!

Take care!

Doing well, first night lots of pain and nausea which was helped by frequent additions to my iv of pain, nausea meds. Only threw up once and it was barely anything. Feel much better today, like I did too many sit ups. Some gas pain but not too bad. Do feel hungry, have been eating ice chips like crazy. Bp was a bit high but is now good. Nurses all very nice. Been sleeping on and off. I have walked the halls but its a pain due to having to get out of bed while keeping watch for drain bag and iv lines and dragging iv. Walking itself not difficult.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
