Where Is Everyone From?



Recommended Posts

Husband is active duty army stationed at Ft Hood, so we live in Killeen, TX. I was referred to Scott & White, in Temple, TX, for their bariatrics program and just had surgery on June 27th. My surgeon is Dr. Richard Symmonds and he is wonderful. Their program is informative and supportive and the hospital was very nice. I keep telling my husband that I am waiting for the other shoe to drop because this entire process has gone so smoothly, surgery was beautiful, recovery seems to be quite well.

I am also an army wife. My husband is stationed at hood and I am in the process of getting the sleeve started.

I am having trouble with vomiting. Mainly when I am sipping on drinks Or trying to eat an egg. When will the vomiting cease? Doctor said it was normal because my stomach is swollen still. Also I am having issues sleeping. Anyone else have suggestions or been thru this?

when did you have your operation? vomiting is part of the course unfortunately! are you online still?

      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.
