Thank you for all the love & support, fellow sleevers! :)

I am currently 1 day post op ... !

My pain yesterday after surgery (which for me was a 1 hour surgery) was maybe an "8" out of "10" right after waking up.

They gave me some morphine & some zofran - and it wasn't too shabby.

The night time was the worst so far. All the anesthesia had officially worn off, cause more pain than what the morphine and things could offer. However, it wasn't too terrible, maybe back up to a "7" for pain.

I completed my swallow test approx 3 hours ago (NO LEAKS! yay) - so I am waiting for the surgeon to A-OK me for some Water & Jello.

My pain right now - a 4 on a scale of 1-10. Not too bad - & I honestly have a VERY LOW pain tolerance.

The scariest part left (for me, personally) is the removal of this drain!!! =/ & the removal of the IVs of course - icky!

I'd be more than happy to answer any & all questions.

Sorry for any typos - I'm drifting in & out of sleep - ha

      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.

      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.
