Glad to hear you are on the mend. It's easier every day! I came home today....love my bed. Try a heading pad. It works great for gas pains. And deep breathe.

I'm having surgery Feb 18th, àt Baylor Trophy Club, sleeve and hernia repair.

I'm 63 and I keep my grand babies 3 days a week. You that have already had the surgery think I will feel like keeping them, the week I have surgery? I handle pain very well, but from reading the posts I'm afraid I might be tired. I don't want to be impatient with my grandkids. They are ages 3 years and one is 10 months. I am weak and terribly hungery on my pre op diet.

Will I be less hungery and weak after surgery? I could eat the singles off the roof right now.

Thanks in advance, Elaine

Here's what I don't get....I am no Einstein, but since my degree is in mathematics I do think differently....if they pump your abdomen with gas to make more ruin for surgery ....how the bleep does it get in your digestive tract to be expelled by farting? I've had lap surgery and had little pain with gas settling in shoulders...just had to walk/move for the body to make it disapate

Hi Elaine! I haven't had my surgery yet, but I figure you'll be pretty tired for that first week after surgery. My main concern would be lifting your grandbabies, as I think you're not allowed to lift more than 10lbs for awhile. Also, you need to be able to get extra rest to heal.

My daughter will be 3 on Tuesday, and when my husband's at work, my parents are going to watch her for the first week after my surgery.

I wouldn't be able to do it. I have a 2 and 3 year old, my parents came out to help and it's been a life saver. I am sore and very tired.

Everyone will have a different reaction to surgery but I know there is no way I could watch my kids alone the week of surgery.

I will be praying for a quick and healthy recovery for you.

As far as hunger; I will get hungry a few times a day. 3 oz of Protein Shake or 2 spoon fulls of Soup or pudding and I overly full. I don't really want to eat anything. It will get will better.

      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.
