That's great to hear.. This first little bit is a pain to get through but it's so worth it! Shout if you need any advice or anything.. Not that I'm a pro!! Bed is the best place to be :)

Had my surgery 18 September. Everything went well although I seemed to spend a long time in the recovery room. Thursday was a day from hell. Couldn't get a needle in to my veins correctly with the result I didn't get enough pain relief. Finally sorted out Thursday afternoon. Haven't really suffered too much from the gas as have been in and out of my bed as I have been unable to sleep. Friday morning went for my barium meal and that was ok. Discharged back to my hotel. Nurse came to hotel on Saturday morning, gave me my shot, checked my wounds and I was free to go. Flew back to Scotland yesterday afternoon, had 5 tablespoons of Soup and finally slept in my own bed. Got up this morning and I'm feeling on top of the world. Have put a washing on and I'm sipping Water. Hope you're feeling better Aggie 1234.

Hi looby Lou. Glad to hear your feeling better. I'm feeling worse than yesterday. Back pain is out of this world. Never suffered so much. I'm wondering if it's gas or it really is back pain or is it because I've not moved around alot

Take your pain killers if you have.. I was like a zombie for nearly two weeks.. I had so much pain heaving my large body around that I couldn't say for sure if I experienced back pain!! That gas is not a great feeling, I felt it mostly near my shoulders, but it could be transferred to your back.. Also watch kidneys :) hope you feel better, don't let the pain get you down!! Rest, relax, recouperate :)

        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
