I just had surgery and it was a hard five days. I tried not to take pain meds because I have never been a fan of medication. I also wanted to feel TUFF, when I did take the roxicet that they gave me I felt better. I'm tougher now with the roxicet because I am able to walk more. I also think that a lot of my discomfort came from the weather. It has been a heat wave and very humid, as soon as I got into an AC thanks to a friend letting me stay at her house, I felt much better. So I guess a word of advice if you have ur surgery and its really hot outside get yourself to an AC and it makes your healing much more bearable.

Long story short I live in tinley park but had a fire we were renting and landlord is dragging his feet with the rebuild. So we had to find a cheap place fast that would take my 2 Dobermans and 1 Rottweiler so we ended up in Gary Indiana. Temporarily I hope

Holy crap I grew up in Tinley/Orland. What a small world! I'm sorry about the fire. What Dr are you seeing? I'm going to Dr Joyce at the new Silver Cross. What High School did you go to?

      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.

      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.
