... just to give you some hope. I had my sleeve and gallbladder surgery at the same time. First day in the hospital I used the drip a couple of times... 2nd day I used it twice. I went gome that day and havnt used any pain meds since the hospital. No pain.. nothing

So true I only used pain meds the first day out.

So far in the hospital I have used the morphine maybe five times to help me sleep. It makes me nausea so I try to only take it when I need it. I dont really like pain meds so im avoiding it at all costs. Lol the pain isnt as bad as I thought it would be. The gas is what kills it. My doc said to not take gas x strips so that sucks. I just have to deal with it. Tomorrow I get to try fluids for the first time. Wish me luck

Well hopefully you are now all done and dusted, and on the way to your happier and healthier life. It really was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am at my target weight, and fel amazing! I have been maintaining for around 6 months, I can eat anything, no food is a problem. I eat like a normal person, just smaller amounts - I love my sleeve, and I hope you love your too! Good luck xxx

      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.
