Got home yesterday from hospitals stay. Band to RNY surgery went really well. In some pain as usual but I'm walking around and attempting to get all my liquids consumed. Good on the Water but harder to get all my Protein, but I'll keep trying. About how long did it take all of you to recover so you could go back to work, etc.? BTW, thanks to all for their emails and supportive posts.

My surgery is in 12 hours. In 12 hours I am becoming a loser! In 12 hours my life will no longer be as I know it. In 12 hours Im going to get some good drugs. In 12 hours wow I am really having surgery. It is here it felt like tomorrow would never come, and now it is only 12 hours away. Just letting it sink in, now if I could just stop going to the bathroom, I could fully enjoy this moment : )

My one and only surgery buddy!!! My doc just called. I was very impressed that he himself called me at 7:43 pm to make sure I didn't have any last minute questions and that I am ready.

My surgery is his first case at 7:30 but I have to be at hospital at 5:30. I live 2 hours away so leaving here at 3:00. What about you?

Did you gain any from surgery (gas and fluid)?

I'm never exactly sure what to include' date=' its confusing since I came out heavier than when I went in. If I go from when I started my pre-op liquids I was 236.8, went down to 233.8 dos, (loss of 3) then up to 239.8 so a gain of 6, and am now at 225.1. Do I count the 6lbs I gained and then lost from surgery (14.7) or do I just say I lost 8.7?

See, this is what happens to a brain lacking caffeine-nothing but mush, lol. ;)[/quote']

see i was 310 when i started liquids got down to 292 and left hospital at 303... i havent weighed since I just left hospital yesterday... prolly will weigh again at Drs office feb 4

Neek----->DOS: 1/22/13

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
