Who wants to see my stomach?

The drain didn't hurt me, though it didn't feel pleasant coming out.

You got it. Just didnt wanna gross anyone out.

Gotta say' date=' it's one of the best pics of it I've seen. I looked for shots like this when I was PRE op and didn't find anything.

Is it teeny tiny? I can try to make it bigger somehow. I'm on my phone and sometimes it posts itty bitty.[/quote']

I can see it. Thats cool. I want a pic of mine. Im getti.g aleeved next week. Seems kinda big but idk how big they should be? My good friend did hers a year ago and her doc told her hers was big to. Now shes A Hot mamma

Most drains only remain in a couple days and I didn't even know I had one until I checked out my tummy. Never bothered me and it only felt weird coming out but not painful. They just sterilize the area pull it out and sterilize the area again and close it. Piece of cake

They didn't close my drain hole, they said it would close on it's own. No steristrips or anything on it. I put a bandaid on it for a few days because I didn't want to get blood on my clothes, it took about 5 days for the hole to completely close on it's own. It's my smallest scar now, it's not nearly as raised as the others.

I went to my pre op visit on Tuesday and my surgeon said that they don't test the portion of the stomach that they remove so my picture should look different.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
