I was sleeved by Dr K on June 11th, and although I do not work outside the home, I was well enough to do all the house chores and keep up with my 3 young kids, right after sugery. My aunt (who is in her mid 50's) went back to her job, seven days after surgery, and has done very well. She did have to start using protien at ten days out, but other than that, no troubles! You'll do great!

As long as your job isn't too physical, you shod be fine. I am doing fine, I have had no pain other than some lingering pesky gas pains. My energy was low the the first week, but now at two weeks out is back to normal.

I am there with dr kelly 4th to the 8th

Thank for the words of encouragement! I am a Social Worker, and do a lot of desk work, which should help.

I am starting the 3 day liquid diet tomorrow. I am getting really excited, but am preparing myself that there can be complications. It just seems like I have food on my brain!!!! Last night I went to the grocery and bought all kinds of food that I could cook for my grown kids whe they come this Friday....which is funny because I do north enjoy cooking!!! It's like each meal is my last meal...so silly but I know pretty normal.

Jennifer and I are doing great. We have rooms right across the hall from each other. I had terrible gas pain the day of surgery, but I felt a lot of relief over night and hardly any pain 24 hours out from surgery (except for a general soreness). I think we have the swallow test tomorrow and will move to the hotel.

Since I am staying a few extra days, Omar said he would bring me to the hospital to meet and talk to people coming in next week.

Omar has been such a doll. His has taken my SO and Jennifer's daughter out for their meals and keeps checking on us. He even brought me a fan from his home because my room was too warm for me.

      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.
