Try some black tea with a little ginger in it. When I had surgery before, they gave me that in the hospital to help with nausea and it worked. I give it to my kids when their little tummy's hurt too. Feel better soon!

I tried typing earlier and kept falling asleep. I made it thru, yippee. Pain, ugh, horrible. Can't seem to get a nurse for pain med. I push and push button and no reply. Thinking its a bum button cuz no reply whatsoever..

So glad to hear you made it through!! Have you tried yelling at the top of your lungs (if you can) They'll rush right in then! Or you can always call from your phone. Hope you get some relief soon!

That sucks Gen! I think they should give you a pain pump! That would alleviate them all together. Try to rest up and feel better.

I know I've said this before, but I feel like I'm eating too much! I feel like I'm going to fail!

Do you measure? If not you can start if that will help how you feel. I understand the feeling. I think it is a natural feeling for all of us to have. We did so much to help us out. But measure, put your faith in yourself cuz you can do it :-)

Blood pressure is running 50/80 since yesterday. Dr said cell count looks good and heart rate is proper. But I told him I did this last time. Low BP in the hospital, but speeding rate when I'd wake up at home, 1 time I passed out. Might be doing more test.

      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.
