I made it to the Marriott and feeling so so. Very tried. My drain is okay not bothering too much. Ate just a little Soup. Going to rest and hope to feel even better tomorrow.

Tami

Make sure you are listening to your body and resting plenty! I'm so glad that you're doing well.

Thank you all for your support. I get my drain out tomorrow and my leak test. I find it still hard to get liquids down. Just trying to take it super slow.

I do feel better than yesterday but still sore on my left side and tired.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Btw: Dr. Ortiz has such an infectious smile.

Take it slow! When you feel tired you rest. Once I made it home I couldn't sleep enough! Which says my body truly needed every bit of it. I guess all the anxiety and the travel finally caught up to me!

Hi I also had my surgery yesterday around 10 am , i woke with no pain at all and also asking if it had been done . The surgery itself was about 45minutes that's what my hubby said

This morning I am up and walking still no pain

I am eating ice chips and no hunger pains at all

I am still here in Piedras Negras with my awesome doctor , Dr.G. Alvarez and his amazing helpful staff.

Great for you :rolleyes: I was in so much pain for 2 days straight after surgery! I was kicking myself asking what the heck have I done. There were some others that had it the same day as me (1/19/13) that had a very uneventful time time. Dizzy is very normal! You just had a major surgery. I still get dizzy some!

How are you doing now?? :)

      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.
