Recommended Posts

my dr called me yesterday and said i was vomiting, wait he didnt want to call it vomiting he said spitting up mucas, whatever my stomach would totally disagree, was due to swelling and that i had to stay on hot liquids for 2 days if it didnt get any better it was back in the hospital. well i just tried my first cold drink in 48 hrs and by god it stayed down you would have thought i won the lottery the way i was acting. i guess what upset me was they were all about call us for anything we mean anything that you have concerns about, well i call once and i feel that vomiting is a good reason and he acted as if i was just wasting his time. now i feel like if anything eles comes up i will hesitate to call again. so be forewarned my dear lapbanders you all will probably be my sounding boards from now on lol. as of today i am down 14 lbs from monday the 18th. i still stare at the scale like its lying to me, that it will one day go ha ha just kidding you still weigh 224lbs. i guess no matter what difficulties i go though this surgery will always be a blessing.

I have found this group to be a very friendly bunch, and the veteran lapbanders are the best. So I say all that to say, you will have very good "sounding boards" here.

You (or your insurance) paid good money for this surgery and you should get all the support you need. If the doctor sounded rude, mb he was just having a busy/stressful/bad day and it had nothing to do with you. Don't take it personally or keep that from getting all the care and support you need and deserve.

Of course, this board is great for any questions you may have but the advice of your doctor is most important. So if you are concerned. CALL. Good luck to you! i hope you are feeling better soon!

I know that I will be turning to this list often over the next few weeks. I will start on the 2nd my no fat diet and then Protein shakes, soft and liquid foods on the 12th for my sx on the 19th. That is the part that will be hard for me but knowing that I might see some pre sx weight loss makes it easier.

everyone keep up the good work!!!

      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
