Oh I'm sorry to hear you're having so much pain! I've read that after day 3 it usually eases off, I hope you get better sooner than that. (Hugs)

How frustrating that you were told you'd be first and you weren't. "/

I'm going to be angry if I'm not first. That's bull.[/quote']

Only one person can be first, so I would go with the idea that it won't be you. That way you won't be disappointed and you may be pleasantly surprised! It's much better to be pleasantly surprised than upset, especially on surgery day. :)

I think one of the factors for my surgeon was who had the farthest to travel to get back home. (I was second out of three of us.)

Thanks ladies. I am already feeling a lot better. I've been on pain medicine so it definitely helps. I don't know why everyone say walk walk walk cos I don't feel like its helped me at all. sleeping has helped me the most. The leak tests are yucky but really not that bad, they taste better than any cough medicine I've ever had. I mostly just feel thirsty and tired. I'll keep you guys posted. Xoxo

Worse than a csection?? Oh no. I don't think that I could tolerate that pain. I could hardly walk after my csection :/

Oh! I should have said that I have also requested to be first and have been told that I will be. :) thanks for being polite when you were probably scratching your head at my comment. Actually, I'll edit it. :)

Lucky you! That's great! I remember my surgeon asking all of us that were schedule that day who wanted to go first and none of us did! I sure didn't; but I didn't want to be last, either!

Well, I'm also going to dr. Garcia, like the op. now I'm wondering if I'll actually be first.

I was giggling when thinking about it today, thinking that most people probably don't want to go first. I just feel that the surgeon will be refreshed from a nights sleep and ready to tackle a new day of stomach scraps first thing in the morning. Hehe

A lot of people think its easier than a c section. Just because it hasn't been for me doesn't mean it will be for you. You'll do great sweetie

I had my gall bladder out and a c-section. C-Section hurt worse for me.

I had really easy csections so the sleeve was way worse for me too. If you had a rough csection, you'll probably think the sleeve was easier. Both surgeries are well worth it though and soon the discomfort will be a distant memory!!! Glad you're doing well iwilliam!!

Thanks love. My c sections were also very easy. I'm thirsty but every time I drink it hurts my chest. Hoping that goes away soon

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
