Two days post op and in having terrible pain at my drain site. My incisions are starting to hurt a little but as well. Can't wait for Dr. Luna to remove the drain today. Hopefully that stops the pain. On top of that I barely got any sleep. Guess I won't truly recover til I'm home in my own bed.

Sade, I hope you are feeling better. I really liked Dr. Luna and the rest of the staff. Be sure to let them know if you have problems. All the best to you.

Sade326, I'm sorry to hear that you are having pain. Maybe Dr. Luna will prescribe something to help with that.

 

I hope that you will rest better at the hotel, where it will be much quieter and the bed should be softer!

I'm feeling great good luck on ur date you'll do fine. I wasn't even nervous I had one little spell but because I watched a video of how the procedure was done right before surgery. But within a few minutes that spell was over. Lol.

So glad to hear you're ok. My day is fast approaching. I'm nervous as he&$ and just ready to get it over with already. Preop diet is slowly coming along,(slowly meaning I've snuck a bite of candy here spoon of rice crispies there while the kids were eating :(. ) I'm really to nervous to eat though. The day before the diet started I ate everything in site out of pure nervousness. Oh well, soon I will be where you are. Did you have to take off from work? How long will you be home for?

You'll do fine. Just leave it in God's hands and you'll have nothing to worry about. I did take off work I will be out for total of 33 days. For the sake of taking advantage of my benefits. Lol

I feel like Im loosing my ever flippen mind!! My surgery is in 15 days... I am stalking the mess out of this forum!

Will I have a leak?

Will I get dehydrated?

Will this really work for me?

Will someone kidnap my fat ass in Mexico?

Have I lost my mind?

Will some other tragedy fall upon me before I get it done?

Is this really going to happen?

Will I go bald?

What am I going to tell people?

      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.
