I'm overly excited and slightly worried... I have 3 children and mostly I am concerned for them (typical Mom right?!?). My husband is supportive but told me to only do it if it is for me and nobody else... The look on his face & the tear in his eyes when he asked my surgeon if I she was sure that I was going to be okay was difficult for me to see... This is about me... I want to be a better wife and Mom that's all that really matter to me... Please just fast forward me to the recovery room!

was sleeved on the 19th of august would do it again tomorrow if i knew before what i know now. sending strength, prayers for you and your husband. you will be so glad after it is over with.

Sleeved yesterday! Not too bad... Gas pain is an issue. Could barely find my incisions they are so tiny. Ate a small part of my liquid lunch and was stuffed! Looking forward to tomorrow!

Slept in recliner last night... Laying flat just didn't work. Tummy is really sore. Trying to get rid of all the fluids they put in through IV at hospital... feeling bloated!

Same thing here I came home weighing 7lbs heavier than what I went in. I've never slept on my back but found that laying on my right side with a pillow under my side and one between my legs helped so much. I haven't had anything really to eat just Water and Popsicles. Not hungry. Also know that walking relieved my gas and helped with soreness. 3 days out now I'm finally showing lbs loss on the scale. What I'm having trouble with is the Vitamins how and when to take them. Plus my antidepressant medz can't stand to open" the capsule and taking it with Water Just like that bleh!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
