Well I have a horrible sinus infection and strep throat UGH! So my surgery for Monday was canceled.

Now I have to wait to get it rescheduled again and because of work it won't e until layer on in March now.

I'm getting laid off in 2 weeks so I have to wait until after that to do my surgery. I had already done 1 week of a 2 week liquid diet so in a couple weeks I will have to start all over again.

I almost thought this was a sign and I told the dr that I no longer wanted the surgery. Then I realized how badly I wanted my life back so I decided I have it again. I think I was just an emotional wreck from not eating, getting sick and nervous about the surgery.

Stay strong everyone and pod luck to you all. I'm glad to see the post ops are doing well and I will update you guys on my new surgery date when I get.

My Surgery has been pushed out to the 12th or 19th of March. ????

I am really bleak. Just cannot believe it.

Port site pain is a BEAR!!!!! Bothered me for over a month. My doc says he literally had to scrape y port off my abdominal wall....OUCH. Even with my band already gone and healed my revision was 3 hours....RNY is not an easy surgery' date=' add in that we're revisions and it really can be a mess! Oh how I love life without my band though'!!!!!!

I learned today that put in a deep stitch in the abdominal muscle and my excruciating pain sitting, walking and standing is from that!

So in effort to make it more bearable I received three injections into the nerve bundle in my abdomen muscle OUCH OUCH OUCH but worth it as it made a little more tolerable. Pain didn't disappear but much more manageable. Surgeon told me this pain not uncommon with RNY revision.

Update: my surgery was yesterday. Everything went great. I lost a little blood but not enough for a transfusion. It was a bit painful to get up for my first walk. So far no nausea. The pain is tolerable and now starting to get some gas pains. Had an upper gi test and it came back good. The catheter' date=' hp drain and Iv is all out now. The taking out of the drain was such a weird feeling. All in all I am so happy that I had the surgery and that so far I am doing great.[/quote']

Glad u are out and ok!

I'm up next!! Surgery is in the morning. Have to be there at 9:00 for 10:30 surgery. Got so much to do and didn't get my will done (no I'm not anticipating). Almost on the losing side!! Good luck and prayers for speedy recovery to rest of the week surgeries.

Good health!

      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.
