How do you feel how long do you have to stay in the hosiptal? How is your pain?

I'm in a little pain. Was in the hospital for 1 nights. I came home this morning. I feel a lot better since they removed the drain this morning! I'm just sipping on Water, sucking on Popsicles & walking around!

I wish my recovery were as easy as yours. I had to stay in the hospital for 5 nights due to some complications. But I am doing much better now.

Wishing you the very best of success!

Thank you! I'm feeling pretty good as long as I make sure I take my pain meds every 4 hours. I moved to puréed food today, which is an adjustment. I'm taking my time with everything & definitely sipping all day.

      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.
