I'm home from the hospital and the surgery went fine. I was eager to get home because I wasn't able to sleep much in the hospital, but now miss that lovely pain med button. I'm trying to get the liquids down and fighting the urge to stay in bed all day. I've been told moving around will help. All in all I'm doing better than I thought I would. Did great in the hospital, got up and used the bathroom soon after surgery and did some walking around the hospital floor.

I'm still in the hospital...the doc wanted to keep me another day cuz the just pulled me off the pump this am...and I'm still needing breakthrough pain meds...they are crushing my meds and mixing them in water...so most of my intake is medication...my husband was able to stay with me until today when they moved me in with a room mate...I had my own private room till today...I have been really tired..,and my Bp has been really low until tonight, but here's hoping that I can go home tomorrow or the next day...I'm so glad we are all doing well with no major complications :)

      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.
