I'm finally home. Got out August 05. I had problems swallowing and my creatin levels went waaaay down. I've been home for 24 hours and my legs are swelling. So now I'm calling the doctor.

Gotta say, once a couple of issues were addressed:

  1. removing the drain tube
  2. turning the air conditioner off [i have Fibromyalgia]
  3. Figuring out how to take my crushable meds despite the taste.

The pain is bearable. I have severe Fibromyalgia so I live with excruciating pain every day.

I had a really rough week. I'm finally beginning to feel better. I had a lot of chest pain, pressure and shortness of breath. This was mostly due to the unexpected hernia repair. Today I finally felt strong enough to get out. I walked the aisles at Target just to get some exercise. It's just too hot outside to go walking. Glad to hear my "sleeve sisters" are doing well. Let's all just stay in touch.

My hubby and I are August 1st sleevers. I'm down 21 from pre op and hubby is down almost 40!

Mushy foods start tomorrow but we've already had a scrambled egg and over cooked noodles.

Amazed that I can eat such a small amount and be full!!

      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.
