How did everything go? Hope you're feeling well.

I'm feeling great. I'm able to get all my Fluid in. . My energy level is good . I think I over did it yesterday with my wii fit but this morning I'm great. I've been having a little discomfort when I drink my shakes but I noticed that decrease as the days go by. Dr. Hart and Emory Johns Creek was wonderful.

You know they are putting an LA Fitness right on 78 where the old Kroger used to be. I have a membership and I am allowed to take 1 person for free besides my daughter. My daughter had gastric bypass May 30, 2012

Loved Dr. Macik and Northside. Only stayed in hospital one night. Everyone was great. I have been lucky and off pain meds since I got home. Had major dry heaves when they gave me pain meds in the hospital. Trying to walk out the gas pains...those still hurt the most.

He did an awesome job on my daughter. He doesn't speak much but he is very lovable.

What did you do for pre-diet.

I did the low/no carb diet. So a lot of veggies and grilled/ baked meats. Whole fruits and Water. I was glad I didn't have to do the liquid diet.

I am like ten minutes from that new gym. My niece and I were thinking about joining there. We did the get in shape boot camp around the corner for five weeks and it was great!

I ate veggies and minimal meat. i was losing the weight but I wanted to come off faster. I didn't work out that much before I got the sleeve. I am not really that motivated to do the work. I was thinking that after the surgery would do it. Getting the weight off suppose to be easy now! I sleeved 10/10/12. Hoping that I change my thought of having regrets.

      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.
