My name is Twyla and I live in Steilacoom, WA. I am 37, have 3 kids, 17, 12 and 3. We just moved here with the military in June of this year. I just had my revision from lapband to VSG on October 9th. I'm glad I found this site, I need some people to talk to that are going thru the same thing! Curious if I'm going thru some sort of stage right now. I'm 5 days out and having a hard time making myself get down anything but ice chips or hot herbal tea. I just have no appetite. My stomach is telling me I'm hungry, but just the thought of broth makes me sick. I did vomit a couple times the night before last and I'm afraid I will again. It wasn't because I took in too much liquid either, it was out of nowhere. Hurt like hell! Anyway, nice to "meet" all of you! I hope we can all help each other thru our journey to healthier people! :)

I'm getting my surgery in the morning (Oct.15,2012) at 8am ......I have never had surgery before I am so nervous and excited. I'm having mixed emotions. Does anyone else feel that way?

Hiccups are torture

I know how you feel.... They hurt.

I know this sounds nuts but go have a hot shower. I swear that helped me. Don't know if it was the steam or just managing to relax or could be coincidence but it helped 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.
