I was doing pretty good until Thursday. I got out of the house for the first time and haven't felt well ever since. Light-headed, dizzy, and nauseated. Feeling better today though.

Glad to hear you are better. Sounds like you'd better take it easy. My surgery is on the 30th. I'm doing the liquid diet now.

I didn't have any issues. Don't try to eat anything before you are supposed to. Even at 3 months out I have to be careful. I usually stick to soft foods because anything dense makes me pretty uncomfortable. I have a Protein Shake every morning for Breakfast because I have a lot of restriction in the mornings and food is impossible lol. The rest of the day I eat cheese, greek yogurt, Beans and lunchmeat. Those are my go-to foods. Good luck!!!

I was sleeves July 12, 2012 by Dr. Timothy Duckett, was sent home today with a picc line and nurse visits every night. I'm unable to keep down fluids and praying a week of steroids via IV will fix the problem. I'm very scared and hoping this is not something more serious than swelling. I should mention I was converted from lapband to sleeve.

Good luck in your surgery I'll be praying for you! I'm sure you'll come out like a champ. Thanks for your prayers, I have faith in God that the steroids will work and no revision surgery will be needed :)

      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.
