Yes, we were both there. His surgery got moved back, so glad it did. Another young lady who was also there had her surgery last week at the "Doctors Hospital" which she said was awful. Her husband could not get her out of there fast enough. I didn't get any details other than the fact that it was bad. I'm very happy that we will be at St. Joseph's.

Pls. Keep me posted on your progress, best always!

Hello Tarabby & Malq' date=' I hope your surgery went well, waiting to hear about your recovery. I really hope it was easy and breezy for you.

I am also going through Dr. Pleatman at St. Joseph's. Did either of you have a drain bag? I'm reading and hearing about it and not sure if everyone goes home with it.

Wishing you a speedy and successful recovery! :)[/quote']

Surgery when really good! I only had to stay one night in the hospital and I am home now. Not much of an appetite so it's hard to get down a shake but I feel surprisingly good. Doing way better than I expected :) was having a hard time peeing post op but that seems to have resolved itself. Just taking it easy and lots of testing. When is your surgery??

Oh and no drain bag! He thought I would need one since my surgery was a revision from the lap band, but it went better than even Dr Pleatman expected :) he's definitely the right dr to go to for this. I couldn't be happier :)

        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
