Is the pain really bad???

I didn't have much pain at all. I was just dizzy and a little nauseous the first two days. I have had. 3 c-sections and they were worse.

I've never had any children and the last surgery I had was an outpatient cyst removal on a hand when I was a kid. So I don't have much to compare this to. Never had any broken bones. Lol like I said I am probably just a big baby

And it seems like just a few days ago I was getting this whole process started it moves quick once you get started. It may not seem like it at the time but it does.

I've seen all the required doctors. I'm just waiting to get all of my testing done. I should have just a few more. Next is the stress test. I dread that one!!! Lol

I'm going to Owasso through the Bailey Medical Center. Dr. Varnell is my surgeon. I'm getting impatient and ready to have the surgery done. So glad you are doing good! Keep up the good work.

Oh Megs81, that really makes me feel so much better. So far, I have loved the Bailey program and all the DRs that I've seen. I have been to all of the Drs and now I'm in the testing phase. I have the stress test 6-17/6-18, I'm frightened for that one. I also have the sleep test left, worried about that too. Have you been successful this far?????

I had surgery on Wednesday with dr Ronnie Keith in Norman and I went home this morning. I've been doing pretty well. Just trying to get fluids down keep walking and keeping pain managed.

I had my surgery with Dr. Ronnie Keith also. Just had my 4 month follow up with Winter. I don't have to go back now till Aug to see the dietitian. I had no problems other than the soreness. Love my sleeve and have had a great experience with OWLO's staff. If you have any questions just ask. Nice to see so many Okies here.

Yes. I thankfully have had no problems since surgery. Stress test wasn't bad. And I already had a sleep test done. It makes a world of difference if you have apnea and use the machine I love mine but I have been off of it for about 3 months and I am sleeping great. Don't stress... Tests are not a deal breaker just want to make sure they know what is going on

      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.
