Hello All!

I am re-reading my Vst account. I recently have Been well enough to reach out. I have been down a long rough road.

I am SO sorry to have left you hanging. I do not recall making this post. I wanted to post to update you if you hadn't seen my post in the complications section. I never meant to leave you guys hanging like this. Please forgive me.

I am doing so much better!! :) I had a leak that caused my heart to have trouble and several other things went south. Iwas in the hospital for too long. Christmas and the New Year weren't normal this year. Bless my family for doing so great!!! They brought everything to me in the hospital.

I am no longer in the hospital. I no longer have any tubing!! :) I no longer require daily medical intervention, but I see my doctor/s weekly now. A couple days ago I started PURÉES!! I am getting ready to drive. :) I am not completely back to my normal life, but I am working on it. The leak brought tons of emotions and I see a counselor weekly until I am on my feet again.

I want to thank everyone who wishes me well. You guys have been so amazing. The support is amazing to have. Your words are heartfelt. You're messages have been this on going and constant positive current that has pulled me through many challenging times. I can't fully express my gratitude in words, but please know I am so thankful for your posts and well wishes. I have been humbled by the support I have received here on VST!!!

I hope your journey has been amazing!! I would love to hear how your doing!!!

Wishing you the Best!!

Respectfully,

Sannah

        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
