I HAD SURGERY AT THE HOSPITAL THAT I WORK AT WHICH MADE THINGS ALOT MORE AT EASE JUST KNOWING SOME OF TRHE NURSES AND DOCTORS AT THE HOSPITAL. EVERYTHING WAS EXPLAINED TO ME VERY WELL AND MY SURGEON EVEN CAME OUT AND SHOOK MY HAND REASURRING ME HE WILL TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF ME BEFORE I WAS WHEELED OFF TO THE OR TABLE. I WAS THEN GIVEN MY HAPPY juice AND WOKE UP IN THE WORST PAIN OF MY LIFE MOANING AND GROANING...THE NURSE WAS PUMPING TONS OF MORPHINE IN ME AS FAST AS BE COULD. THANK YOU....ANYWAYS EVERYONE TOOK WONDERFUL CARE OF ME ALL THE NURSES AND DOCTORS KEEPING MY PAIN UNDERCONTROL AND I WAS VERY BLESSED TO HAVE ONE CASE OF NAUSEA...THE ONLY STRUGGLES I AM HAVING IS PAIN WHILE SWALLING liquids AND TRYING TO RID OF GAS PAIN.

congratulations to you! Every day now will be easier and easier. After surgery day, I never needed anything for pain and I didn't have gas pain either. I did have some bp ups and downs. Just sip and walk and you'll be stronger and happier every day!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
