Just had surgery this morning.



Recommended Posts

I was taken into op room at 7:30am. Before I knew it I was in my room and it was 11am. It has been a lot better than I expected. I am walking around like normal. At a slower pace of course. Only issue I had was that they had to use a cathiter to drain me after surgery. After that I have been urinating fine. My surgeon is Dr Wayne Weiss. My surgery was at Good Sumaritan Hospital in Suffern, NY. Recommend them both.

I had mine @ orange regional in middletown by Dr. Judd on July 18 2013. He is a fantastic surgeon as well. Glad you are feeling well :) wish you the best on your journey to a healthier you :) I have heard good things about Dr. Weiss as well.

I hope you do incredibly well. Just remember to take it easy. I felt a false sense of "I FEEL OK" and overdid it a few times. Allow your body to rest & heal. Good luck!

Great! Just remember to get the pain merat home just in case. Is not fun to have pain at 3am and have to try and find 24 hour pharmacy. Also the first few weeks you are home you start to do more...can lead to pain. You had surgery keep that in mind. Also will take a few weeks to get back energy level. Gets better as you work back o more regular food. Hang in there. Not trying to push drugs.. I am an RN so I do this for a living, trying to control pain especially in my dept labor and delivery !

I know its too soon but I jumped on the scale just to see and it gave me a result of 10.5 lbs less than my weight right before going in for surgery. That was just 4 days ago.

You will be fine. I was expecting the worst to be honest and I have only had minor gas pain. This morning I did 5 min on the eliptical which I decided to stop since I don't want to push it. I do strongly recommend to listen to your Doctor and follow instructions to a T. I was on a full liquid diet since midnight 8/10 and stopped all liquids at 8/11 midnight. I have also followed my phase 0 diet to a T. I think that is also a big reason to why I have had no issues thus far. Don't get me wrong on Sunday prior to surgery my family had some insane looking Pasta and I was sooo tempted to downing a plate or two of that thinking "last meal" but the reward in the long run is worth so much more. I just hope that each day continues as it has and I stay disciplined and on point. Temptations will not stop. We just must learn to overcome them. Good luck

      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.
