Private room baby!!!! And my surgeon requires a private room therefore it's no additional charge to the patient....I could kiss his feet.

Lucky you I had private room for both my Lapbands not for my conversion but my hubby did a great job of scaring my roommate to another room and I was private for one day!!!! Lol

Yeah I do have that I just didn't know if it was ok to take right before surgery (I have it on Thursday). I've just been tolerating it the last 5 days.

It's night and day!!!! I only had to do liquids a week post-op but at 15 days out I'm still really not getting hungry so liquids were more 'oh yeah I need to eat' instead of 'oh my God I'm starving to death feed me now!!!!' It's pretty awesome the difference a day makes!!!! :)

I got out of surgery around 5:30 pm, everything went well, everyone keeps telling me that I look great for someone who just got out of surgery lol, who doesn't love a compliment? But I am in a lot of pain, keep pressing that button for my pain reliever, but don't feel like it's doing much. Surgeon said that if everything goes well I might be able to go home tomorrow evening. I have my own room, yay, don't need to share it with anyone. They've had me taking zips of Water, 1oz every hour. I think that's it for now, oh I tried getting up to walk, I walked for like ten steps, too dizzy, I say down on a chair and started getting nausea so had to go back to bed. Hope tomorrow is a better day. Hope everyone is doing well.

I agree. Somewhere around day 10 I turned the corner. I swear I could go all day without eating. Yesterday was the first day I realized I'd been lazy with my Water, so I'm having to make myself drink. I guess this is what they call the honeymoon period?

Congratulations!! Welcome to the other side! :)

Finally home, had my surgery last night ,now I am home relaxing on my couch, I am having lots of pain, and a lot of gas. :( The gas is more uncomfortable than the pain wish I could just burp it away. Well feeling kind of tired, I think I'm going to take a nap now. Hope everyone is doing well.

YES! I have been on Prilosec or Protonix for 17 years and never felt the acid reflux I have in the past week on my liquid diet. Not even after eating a steak and cheese and onion rings! Omg just made myself hungry again!!!

      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.
