I was sleeved 5/29...I awoke pretty nauseated but they gave me a shot right away and it took care of it. No pain at all even 6 days post op. Just stomach spasams. Good luck to you guys! I have to say my experience with surgery and the overnights were great!

Lol-

My stomach is all messed up. I think from nerves and not eating normally. My show time is 1030 TOMMORROW w surgery at noon. I am happy but know I will be starving like crazy again for hours.

I'm not sure why my phone capitalized Tomm.

WHAT??! What happened? Weren't you supposed to have surgery this morning? I'm so sorry! That must be awful to have to psych yourself out again for tomorrow?

It's unbelievable, but the OR lost power right before they were going to call me back. I had been there for hours & had 2 bags of IV Fluid.

I'm not scheduled until noon so I'm going to try & stay up really late. That way I don't have to sit & starve all morning...

Oh wow! Well then thank God you weren't in the middle of surgery when they lost power! :o I will say a prayer for you that everything runs smoothly tomorrow & that you won't feel hungry. Good luck akmys!

Did any of you get the shot before they put the IV in? The last surgery I had I wussed out and got the numbing baby shot in my hand which some people say isn't worth it cause the shot hurts about the same as the IV lol

I did receive a shot of lidocaine before the IV was placed. I also had some medicine I had inhale through my mouth to numb my throat, that way my throat would not be sore after surgery. And my throat isn't sore. Mouth extremely dry.

I will be starting my liquids at 6 am

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
