Does anyone know how soon after the operation lifesaveremt had his clot and passed away? I have been in shock since last night when I read the news :( I know you're at increased risk of clots about a month post surgery...so don't forget to walk people! If you work in an office (or anywhere you have to sit long periods) make sure to clench calves and pump your feet to keep the blood going!

RIP lifesaveremt, prayers to all your loved ones. This has completely freaked me out as well. My brother had clots in his thighs & lungs almost exactly 1 month after his knee surgery & my mother has phlebitis. Scares the heebygeebies outta me. In wonder if I should just call my docs office in a few weeks and tell them to scan me, l. I'm so not passed doing that! Prayers to everyone!

My prayers are with his loved ones. I haven't learned anything about how far out he was. It really has me scared. My surgeon puts all of his patients on blood thinners. Is anyone else going to be put on blood thinners?

      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.
