Congrats on your surgery. How are you feeling? Are you getting your Water intake? Any pain?

Thank u! I'm feeling pretty good. I'm working on intake. Haven't really been measuring. But I'm going to pay attention today so i can have somethin definitive for my post op visit. No pain a and I'm a crybaby for pain. Just a bit of discomfort. Actually the most painful thing was the gas, and the shoulder pain.

That's great to hear. I've noticed everyone just about mentions shoulder pain & the gas. Glad it isn't too bad.

No Sassygal1, I pray I was not mislead by the Bariatric nurse/coordinator. Ha, now I wanna double check before I get my hopes up too high.

It went well. He said everything was perfect. Everything up to now has been normal. U will enjoy ur stay' date=' no matter what pain or whatever u are in.[/quote']

GREAT TO HEAR!! Yes Methodist is good when it comes to staying. I have no complaints so far on that. Was there before for gallbladder surgery by Dr Gorecki!! That's why I picked him. Him and the hospital are great!!

Keep us posted on your journey. Surgery is done and now the journey begins!! :))

You should def call and make sure 1slimsistah2!! You don't want any surprises or delays. If you go online there are the requirements they want before surgery. It's under morbid obesity. Again just call to make sure. Maybe you have a diff type of plan under the same name.

I was given 8/19 as my date but my PCP submitted his approval letter with my blood pressure reading at 140/100 and now the surgeon doesn't want to do the surgery if it stays so elevated. He gave me a different more stronger Water pill and boy is it working and a higher dose of metoprolol 100mg 2x a day. He stated that this wbls would help me in lowering my pressure.

But you wanna know so,ething, I truly believe that my I.U.D. May be causing my readings. I passed all clinical trials. Pulmonary, cardiology, blood work, etc. so I am going to get it taken out. I've had it over 10yrs and no sex for approx 8 of those 10! Lol so that's my hunch.

Wish me luck. I go to the GYN at 9am. I want it out. Other than being 285# I don't know why my pressure is so high. I have low salt tolerance too.

So I was just given a date to see my surgeon on 8/14 to fill out consent forms and papers...my date is a go. 8/19! I had my OBGYn submit my BP readings from yesterday...and all my other exams took my readings which was never 140/100! They basically read I have BP but not that high of a gauge. I'm sure she averaged it out rom the pulmonary specialist, cardiologist, blood work, EDG, and now my OBGYN...I may suffer from "white coat syndrome" and I really value my PCP but I don't know why with him it's so different than everyone else's!

Just thankful I am having surgery on the 19th.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
