Congrats!

We'll be under at the same time. :) From what I've read a couple of things you must take are gasx strips and a heating pad. There is a whole thread pinned on this under the pre-op forum.

Good luck! It will go well for both of us.

Well I officially joined the losers bench as of yesterday. The surgery went well, but I had a hard time coming out of anesthesia. Then swallowing the Water nod Protein Shakes. I guess because I was on so much pain medicine. Started dry heaving, that is no fun at all. But this afternoon so much better. I never once got nervous or scared pre surgery but on a side note. I don't know why I didn't think of it, I have a area that is severely caved in on my stomach. The dr says, well yea, its where I took your stomach out. Mmmm, might have to blame on the drugs.

I too am on the 26th. Today I started a five day, 1000 calorie a day diet. After which I will switch over to three days of liquid and then time for surgery. Glad I don't have to do 8 days of liquid.

Bring a pillow for the ride home to help with bumps and jolts from the car, that's what I've been hearing.

My doc would not let me use gas x strips - she said it was better to let the gas come out on its own. The heating pad was also a no go.

So! I'm 4 days sleeved! Thanks for all the well wishes. I spent 2 nights in the hospital because I just couldn't manage my Protein. I didn't throw up or anything but I just couldn't do it, Id fall asleep with the cup in my hand. I felt nauseous. It was hard and I definitely had some "buyers remorse" on Tuesday. I felt horrible once they pulled me off the pain medicine pump. I was allowed to go home yesterday and haven't had pain meds in 2 days. I'm about 75% better, trying not to push myself too much knowing it could set me back more. I'm doing my protein and walking and everything I should be and just hoping for the best results! Good luck all!

      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.

      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.
