Sleeved two days ago. I am home, doing very well and sipping and walking and sipping and walking...

I feel blessed as all things considered, things are going very well.

No pain except when gas rears its ugly head. I do have an abdominal binder on and that really helps with comfort.

So good to hear you're doing well! How long were you in the hospital? My surgery date is Nov. 25th and i'm wondering if I'd be able to, (or want to) see my family for thanksgiving

I'm having surgery on Nov. 27. Just found out today. Now I'm in a panic to get everything done before surgery. I know this sounds kind of silly but I love to decorate for Christmas. I understand that I will be very sore when I come home so I'm thinking of doing it before I go into the hospital. Anybody else think about this or am I just making more work for myself?

Hello-

I had a late surgery so I was in the hospital for two days. I am home walking and resting.

I would have no problem with visitors now. As for thanksgiving, I learned that we all heal differently and there were a few folks sleeved the same day and they were not moving as well as I.

It will really be a day-to-day call for you.

I know if you feel like I do, thanksgiving visitors will be welcome! That said, we are all different.

Best of luck to you!

I'm seriously thinking about putting the Christmas tree and hanging the stockings sometime Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday (my surgery is Thursday the 21st). I was GOING to keep with tradition and help put it up on Thanksgiving, but now that I see how weak some others are one week post op, and there only being 3 weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year because of how late Thanksgiving is, I'm thinking I will put it up BEFORE surgery. Plus it will hopefully put me in a festive mood when I get home and the warm holiday feelings may help with healing!!

I am almost 2 weeks out and since about 5 days out Ive been fine. I went back to work this last monday and was ok. I know everyone is different. I know before i had my surgery I thought I would be so weak and not be able to so anything for myself, but everything worked out fine. Good luck on everything!

I have never chatted like this before so hopefully I am doing it right. Haha.

Anyway I'm going to put my tree up next weekend I've never put it up that early but I want to make sure everythings done before my surgery in case I have complications which I won't. Day 1 of liquid diet and no coffee complete.

Very excited but scary. Hopefully I don't starve.

      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.
