You'll do find. By the time you read this you will be in recovery and have your room, so..

I had to report for mine 7 AM (getting up at 5 AM after fasting the previous 24 hours was ...new). In the hospital surgical waiting room they had to put up signs reminding patient's family members that everyone in the room has not eaten, resist the urge to bring in that Macdonald's Egg McMuffin (I would have added that, they might get attacked).

The surgery went smoothly, but I had 3 roommates in my 4 day stay. The Hosp. didn't have a family or day room ready. The first night as I am chewing ice chips, my roomate's (in with leg injury) family brings in pizza. The second day they bring in subs AND pizza for lunch. I don't usually wish anything bad on anyone but, after lunch he bought lunch (and a little part of dinner) up... I guess prayer DOES work... :unsure:

Good luck....I discovered some new words when the nurses came to get me to walk within hours of the surgery...you probably will also.... it's just 'part of the healing process'. :D

hey actnup

wow, surgery is over, and you are still around to listen to us talk about it. Really not taking this lightly, this has been a scary venture, i don't know if you ever had surgery before so this could have been extra difficult. This is quite an undertaking, but a great step towards happiness but more importantly good health.

this is a very hard yet bold step you took. i don't think "observers", family and friends realize what a big step forward this is, what a hard decision you made, your new eating situations that will lead you to a new and healthier and happier you.

so, try and shed your tears - you might hit some little bumps in the road, but remember - you'll get over that big hump (hope i said that right!)

good luck with your journey ahead

best wishes

kathy

That sounds like it was difficult. I had a room with four people but at least they were all Bari patients with the same Protein drink lol

      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.
