Im so sorry that you are so uncomfortable but i can relate with what your going through. From how you are describing the tube it sounds like the one i had which is called an ng tube that goes into your stomach just to make sure any liquid in your stomach is sucked out. It was really uncomfortable for me too, it sucks hunny but you have to be strong. There is nothing wrong with crying i cried too. You have to be strong and understand that you'll be ok in a few days and it will all be over. No pain lasts forever, i'll be praying for you.

I was in the hospital for six days. Partially because i had my surgery done open with one long incision. I also had complications with the same tube you had and the fact that my blood pressure and temp wouldnt go down. Combined with the tube and the blood pressure med they gave me had me constantly coughing up never ending phlegm(so nasty) because my asthma reacted badly with the blood pressure med. I hope you feel better [=

Are you referring to me? Dont be scared, concentrate on the end game, a fews days of hypothetical discomfort cant compare to how great your future will be. If you are referring to me i had my surgery in Minneapolis, mn.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
