August 2013 Roll Call



Recommended Posts

Hey Tina! Nope I was discharged Saturday! How about yourself? I tried to walk to much today and was hurting all night so just been hanging out in bed since I had it done! How you feeling?!?

I get sleeved on the 14th. My biggest fear is the mental desire to eat things just bc I recall how good they taste. Have your desire or cravings for food vanished?

I have the Hosp preop today including the class, praying it all goes well.

Congrats on doing so well :)

Doing my pre-op testing right now at the hospital, and so far already registered for my surgery so don't have to fill anything out that day, blood work and labs done, waiting on respiratory and mri tests, ekg, and endoscopy then can go home to start my liquid diet! Very anxious and my stomach is upset from stress but at least I'll be done with my pre-op stuff and after my 2 week liquid diet, it'll be surgery day!

I'm behind u hun On the pre Op diet and behind you On surgery Day

I know, it's so very real right now. I'm doing everything I need to for my sleeve. My stomach is a need, but I'm actually feeling calmer than I have in a few days. Everyone here at the hospital had been friendly and super sweet and encouraging, so that helps. Good luck Dee! Keep us posted, and I'll do the same! :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
