It's done! I had my surgery yesterday (12/18/12), and they still aren't letting me have a drink of Water. How long does this usually take? I'm not hungry, and my pain is under control, but I feel like I'm going to have a break down if I don't get a sip of water soon!

see if they will let you have some ice chips. You should start getting an ounce of Water and then an ounce or two of Protein fairly soon.

That sounds strange - they let me eat ice chips within an hour of recovering and sip on Water the same night. But I guess each dr is different.

Ask for ice.

They just brought me water! I never thought I'd be so happy to see a small cup of water!

LOL. Not really laughing because I can remember that thought of, "I'd kill for just a SIP of water". I think I had to wait almost 12 hours before I could get ice chips and at that point it tasted like the best ice cream I had ever had. Hang in there- the reward is coming! Just remind yourself you aren't getting dehydrated, even though it may feel that way, because you are still getting IV fluids. But man.....its tough! And remember too- we were ALL at that point. Hang tough!!! This will soon be a distant memory!

I couldn't have Water until I did my leak test and passed ;-)

I know how you feel. I begged them for those sponges to dip in water to get my mouth wet.

Congrats on your surgery!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
