Well I can't say I'm not tempted but I've never sued anyone in my life and I need to go through trying every other avenue before it comes to that. I will need to get a second opinion. And scans its going to be expensive. But even so I need to at least follow up with the doctor and give him a chance to make it right.

One things for sure. I'm not ever having this surgery again. It was a hellish 3 weeks post op. It was very painful. I thought I was going to die a few times. Not to scare anybody. Everyone is different. But I am also disfigured now.

OMG it sounds like you were one of the (very) unlucky ones - I'm so sad for you.

Again I'm sure it would be in the DR BEST INTEREST to fix anything he has done wrong.

Yeah something needs to be done. I want to try to lose weight but if I'm only down 10 lbs or nothing by week 12. Than I will know for sure it was a failure and he can't blame it on swelling or healing etc. And blaming me for overeating is pointless because that's why I had the surgery in the first place. I am doing Protein and staying away from sugars. But not cutting out natural sugars. And I'm not drinking soda anymore. So if there's no weight loss by than something is really really wrong here. The only foods that fill me up are bulky foods. Like chicken and real thick heavy things. But it takes way more than a normal sleeved person can eat. Almost as much as before. I'd say if I lost any weight so far its minimal. Maybe just a few lbs at week 6. I need a scale to know for sure. I haven't lost any clothes sizes I know that. They do fit a tad better though.

I just had aloe Vera juice straight up nasty. But good for me hopefully. It tastes like fleet oral enema if you've ever had that. Except with a planty aftertaste so you don't puke. Anyway if my problem is due to a leak or acid this will take care of both. I have 2 liters. Don't wheez the juice.

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

        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.

      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
