Getting sleeved in Sept



Recommended Posts

I am also scheduled for 9/9. I had a very bad headache yesterday and tried some warm broth and it helped. Not sure if it was the warmth but I'll take it. FYI..the broth was Swanson-Mexican Tortilla soup-infused broth. Nice change from plain broth! Good luck!

Hello Pattie 1966. ,

Had my surgery yesterday with Dr Garcia st florence Oasis Hospital... The procedure went very very good. , I was informed of everything prior , then after procedure they have me pain meds . I was feeling lots of pain in stomachs because I had the revision from lap band done and they stated that there was dome scar tissue so this was the cause for the pain. But besides that everything else has been a very positive experience ! Dr Garcia and his team are wonderful and very professional , the hospital very clean and modern , The staff is constantly checking on me . Very professional . The Marriott very clean and nice , the people are do friendly. They only negative is you don't speak any Spanish they misunderstand you sometimes but they can always find someone to translate nearby .

Other than that it has been a terror experience don't you worry they take care of you from the moment you land all the way till you Go home ..

I leave from Marriott Friday am maybe we'll see each other . On that note keep the shakes going

Pattie

Regards Flashferreira. ( Steve)

Steve thank you so much for the update. I was wondering how you where doing. I'm glad it went good for you. I'm just now starting to get a little anxious about the whole thing so you have reassusred me a lot. I'm on day 11 of my pre op and I'm down 16 lbs. It hsn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be. I don't think I'm going to get to see you. I fly in on Thurs and surgery is on friday. If we dont get to meet I wish you the best with your jorney.

      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.
