Patrick,

How are you doing/feeling?

Doing pretty good, little sore and tender..

One of the incision sites is on a fat roll that has shrinked to half it's size and folded inwards a bit, and that one is a little tender right now...

All of you are inspiring....my surgery is coming up on 7/17 at 9:30am. Super excited along with the jitters...not the kind where you want to back out just the kind from the unknown.

Just wondering how I will handle the pain...guess i will find out soon enough.

Ready to get back into my life as the person I always knew was hiding under here.

I was having this a lot especially yesterday...wife was gone and it was actually kinda scaring me thought I was having either a heart attack or embolism... that's when I decided I really need to get a handle on my gas... so I can tell if it is serious.... made my wife go get gasx strips and took 2 every 4 hours.

I also still have tightness when breathing... but I'm pretty sure that's still gas too. But it is scary and I don't Know how one could differentiate the gas from something serious...after my breast area it went left of my sternum where my heart is... I got up and walked a bit and it moved so I figured it was gas.

Well, the only thing left tonight is to pack a few small things and take a shower. Just a little over 12 hours before my 7:30 surgery. I'll be there at 5:30 and they can start any time after that. I'll see the rest of you on the Loser's Bench!

Yes!!!!! I was sleeved July 2 as well. Saturday it felt like something was getting stuck in my esophagus. yesterday the discomfort had moved a little lower and today about the same. I noticed I could drink more than a teeny tiny sip yesterday and today seems about the same. It really helped me to just get up and move around to ease the discomfort. tried some very soupy grits this morning, maybe 1&1/2 tbsp and experiencing a small amt of discomfort. so tired of broth. for the most part, I had very little of the post op gas pain. I guess because I just walked and walked and walked and walked. So far, doing FABULOUS! Better than I expected.

      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.
