Congrats on the break-out Liz!! Let the house go or have your fiancé pay for a cleaner. Take it easy and heal so you don't have to go back! :)

I fear I may have to go back. I just woke up dry heaving and crying in pain. I went from 24/7 morphine for a month to cutting it off old day. I hate saying this but I think my back got used to the angle of the hospital bed. I may have to try and recreating it.

I hope you start feeling better again. It could be the angle you were in for a long time..

Praying for you....

I couldn't sleep laying down for some time Liz and when I returned home I returned to the guest room again with dozens of pillows to recreate the incline in my hospital bed as well. I thought I hated that thing, but my body had gotten used to sitting up I guess. I would also get nauseous when lying down flat :( Sorry love

I don't know if it would help but I have seen foam wedges that you can buy to help you lay at an incline, I am planning to get one soon due to my Restless leg syndrome. It sounds weird but if I sleep partially sitting up my legs arent as bad as when I sleep flat. Good luck and I am so happy to see that you got to go home, you have been in my prayers and now I will pray you stay home an healing comes without any further issues :}

Ok. I'm still nauseated but not vomiting. I've discovered I have to be propped up, and a good part of my problem is the opiate withdrawal. Still pretty sick, but not ER sick for now. My big goal is fluids.

My lips are blood red, so is my tongue with a god awful bile taste. Dr says it sounds like thrush. What the Hell is next? Getting a prescription for phenergen today because I'm vomiting despite the zofran and scope patch. Ugh.

Also, never knew it would be this hard to take a shower.

That's great!! You HAVE to keep your sense of humor. Sometimes that's the only thing that will get people through stressful times when everything seems to be spinning out of control. Hugs!

      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.
