Hello e1 thanks for the well wishes and prayers. I converted finally at 5 pm tonight 69 hours of fib one of my all time longest episodes. I still have to stay monitored for my med change. I hate being hospitalized but I will do what I have to do.

I got my approval! Should have my date by Monday!! How long is everyone taking off of work?

Hey there! Congratulations!!! I will most likely be off for six weeks. I work in health care and do a lot of lifting and tugging/pulling. My dr said if I had a desk job I could go back in about three. I'm not supposed to drive for the first two weeks. Let us know when your date is....

My name is crystal and I've just started my journey . I have completed info session nutrition class first dr appointment now on sept 26 I have to meet with the nurse meet the nutritionist and social worker . I know one person who has had the gastric bypass and does not regret it one bit. I'm a mom of 4 teens and 11 year old daughter ooh yes and our one year old grandson. I'm nervous but I need this so I can live and be healthy so that I can see my grand babies and grow old with my husband. My husband says I love you the way you are no matter what. He knows due to dome health issues I need to do this journey for me.

      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.
