I'm not in my 20s but I'm browsing . Ill be 19 on Monday and I just had my surgery on the 8th in Hackensack . The first time I woke up after surgery I remember saying I was in pain but then I passed out for hours after that . When I woke up all I had was gas pains in my stomach . The next day (yesterday) I was able to get up on my own and walk around with no IV . I was able to drink 4oz of water/juice/broth in an hour . When I left the hospital at about 1030 last night , with the hour drive home I became extremely nauseous and had some acid reflux at about 3 am . I'm finding it harder to get down 4 oz now that I'm home but other than that I feel fine . And I'm only getting down Water because juices and broths are now making me sick . I also had a little under an ounce of a Popsicle .

That's where I go too! Dr. Abkin? Do you go to the support groups? I'm gonna try to go to some but my work schedule doesn't really allow me too. Congrats on your surgery soon!

Hey! I just got sleeved on Aug 5th. Two weeks post-op today and I go to Dr. Abkin. I absolutely love him! I'm going to try to get to the next support group. All the nurses at JFK were amazing. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Maybe I'll see you at the office lol.

      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.
