What a journey have I had. I was in the waiting room for my surgery. So while I was there I was having the poohs from the milk of magnesia. So as I was lying in bed I was squirming and thinking I was having a panic attack and started crying and telling my partner and his mom that I changed my mind that I didn't want it ! So I was like take me out I don't want this anymore! And then I was like let me to to the bathroom!!! So I end up going to the bathroom and I calmed down immensely. So then my parents come in and talked to me. So I ended up laying back down and bam I got the surgery. So the next two days were hell! Being awaken like fifteen times during the night and what not. I could not pass gas for the life of me! And it was painful! So finally I tooted twice today and was sent home. Went I got home my partner helped me undress for a shower and bam there's a huge bruise on my calf. So I called the hospital and they ask if I feel like crap and short of breath I say no I feel awesome. So it might of happened during the surgery?? So now I'm at home drinking Water every 15 mins plus walking for a min. It's tiring.

Omg I did the same exact thing. I was sleeved on 10/25 and when I was in preop I started crying

After the nurse or maybe a tech said you getting sleeved. So I starting crying and ask myself was I doing the right thing. Then I calm down and my doctor came in after my sister chatted with me and said you will be fine.

I hope and believe I made the right choice. I can't get enough fluids in. All the Protein or nasty maybe because it remind me of milk and Im lactose intolerance. Doctor said my tongue was white and I need to drink so other than that I will survive. I'm happy I went through with it but I just need liquids.

I was sleeved 10/31 and just got home today with the worst gas pains and I have this sore on my mouth that wasn't there before surgery...nurse says its a canker sore from stress but I don't think so. I'm going to try gas x and pray that helps with the pains. Cannot pass gas either and I've been walkin with no relief. I felt like I was making a mistake also but I believe we made the right choice. :)

I was sleeved on 10/31/2012 and I understand how everyone feels this has been difficult. Gas, nausea, bad day

I was sleeved 10/31 also. Today has been the first day that I haven't questioned if I did the right thing. I had terrible dry heaves. Still struggling to get enough liquids in but hope the worst is behind me. Keep your head up. Everyone keeps saying each day gets better and that's what I'm hanging on too.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
