In my experience, you probably won't care what you look like. I've had quite a bit of pain and I'm walking the halls with no bra on because at the moment, I just don't care. Ponytail instead?

Oh and for me, it's doesnt feel great to lift your hands up that high.

Yea I didn't care at all. Was to busy trying to get through my first few nights. Now once I returned to normal say day two after surgery I started caring.

I didn't need converter. They had the same outlets we use in States.

Ok, so my expirience so far was a nice one. In recovery I gave Dr.Luna a little laugh as I was still "tripping" lol and first thing I heard when I woke up was 2chainz bad b lol , once the anesthesia startded wearing off I was in a lot of pain (gas pain) , a whole lot of nausea. But the nurses have been great in giving me meds like clock work.

Today I feel a lot better, did the leak test earlier today which was nasty, then a few hours later the second leak test with the blue die which was nasty also, but upside to that is now I get to have ice and gatorade.

Surprisingly the drain does not bother me, but the gas is horrible so I have started to use my gas x strips today and they have helped a bit. I also got to bathe, and now jsut wait til tomorrow for discharge to the hotel.

I think thats about it, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
