I've lost 23 lbs so far. I'm happy with this so I wonder if this is the average?

Well this morning at 4am I wasn't feeling my norm I was hurting in places that concerned me not to mention my right leg felt like it was heavier then usual and numb so my husband thought that we should go to the emergency room' while on the way there I was freaking out considering the worse blood clots,leaks,dehydration,fluid around my lungs you name it' but my husband quickly grabbed my hands and said a little prayer and off to the ER we went! Low and behold EVERYTHING WAS FINE BLOOD WORK AND ALL!!!! I was for certain that I wasn't getting enough food or liquids in so I thought "dehydration" at the least but NOTHING Dr said that my labs all look perfect, I'M so happy and blessed that everything is fine' Thank you God for your many blessing!!

That is what really scares me, something I would not want to go through. I'm glad everything was good with you. Stay healthy.

      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.
