Hi everybody! Just wanted to give an update! (Sorry it took so long, i was SOOO out of it yesterday!) Anywho, i had my surgery around 11 am yesterday. Im pretty sore, especially getting in and out of the bed! But i think a good portion of my pain is gas pain (abdomen to shoulders). I do have a drain that is gross and keeps filling, im not sure if it is causing pain or not though. I am using my heating pad and it seems to help. I havent had ANY ice, Water or anything yet! My mouthis SO dry! Im not even allowed to chew gum! Hopefully in a few hours i can have some ice chips! I havent really had any nausea, some other ladies have though. I hop e i dont get nauseous either :-/ what else... trish is awesome (my coordinator)!! My fligh got delayed a few times on thursday so i didnt get to INT until almost midnight! Buttrish was here to greet me with open arms and helped me settle in! I think i wasnt quite prepared for all of the nurses that dont understand english, but google translator has helped! Its kind of funny because i wasnt going to know for sure if i was going to be able to have the sleeve done until after surgery to see what was going on with my band. So because of the language barriers and not having access to my personal belongings in the recovery area, i didnt really know if i got sleeved or not! But i did!

no ice chips :(

hi there

Welcome home from Mexico, and back to the Sleeve Board - we missed you :)

i also wasn't allowed any ice chips. EGADS

After i "begged" they finally gave me those swabs with the Water on them that i could rub in my mouth. That was such a treat, I thought I was in heaven ;)

Great to hear that your co-ordinator Trish was so nice and helpful too. That really is great to have that extra support, especially in a foreign country.

Glad things are going so well

continued success

kathy

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
