Ok post op ladies... I'm up on the 22nd. Question for hospital..bring your own slippers or not? iPad mini or not? How many times are they checking you in the middle of the night? :-)

I was given the socks with treads and just wore them for the 2 days there. I walked the halls with them on too. I don't have an iPad but did have my iphone. I was barely on it since I was pretty out of it the first day and only used it briefly the second day. Everyone is different so you may want to bring it just in case!! My nurses were always checking on me and doing vitals several times during the night. But I was too out of it for them to have bothered me. Good luck to you! Each day seems to be getting a little better!!

Okay, so I was given the non slip socks, but I found some nice fuzzy ones at Wal-Mart in a two pack for 3 dollars. It was worth it to me. As far as bringing a ipad or anything. That's your call I was sleeping most of the time I was there and didn't even think about ipads or anything. I had my cell phone and that was good enough. Your going to be tired from the drugs and they are going to have you walking. Best of luck! I would make sure you bring chapstick!! That was a must for me.

I used my ipad the whole time. Hardly got any sleep bc I was constantly in pain/ waiting for pain meds. I'd be good the first hour after my dose but then the next hour I was counting down. I set an alarm on my phone to help remind me to ask for my meds.

allons-y

At least your incision is above your belly button, they did mine inside! That's most painful incision so far

My most painful is the one where the drain was and the one below the drain site. The one below the drain site is where he took the stomach out, he said it will be more painful bc there are a few stitches closing some of the abdominal muscle.

How do I find our fbook group ?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
