So excited I am 1 week post op after having bypass surgery. I will admit I was. Regretting it up untill 2 days ago. I am starting to get my energy back. And feeling great I am not so much noticing the weight lost yet but I am sure it wi come. I do say I can't stand Hess Protein Shakes . But I am faithfully taking them . I am going to enjoy recovering At home for 6 weeks with my son and hopes with the weight loss it will put my PCOS problems behind me !!!!

Congrats I'm scheduled to get mine on March6. How was it after surgery?

My experience was great. I did not require that much pain meds durning my 3 day in patient stay and when I came home I did not take any of the pain meds. The only part I found hard was getting in the routine of the diet plan. Once I got past that part I felt less and less frustrated nd had more and more and energy when I was able to get more of my Protein shakes and fluids down. I had moments of regrets at first but things got much easier and I am happy with my choice best of luck continue to come here for support as I feel it helps a lot to talk to people who truly get it ! And don't make comments like you did not need to do that you did not need to lost that much weight. I look forward to talking again soon

I had surgery on 1/14/2012 I don't regret it yet, only the gas I didnt have really much pain use meds I was told keep ahead of the pain use the meds. I just have 5 incision seal with glue which are almost healed. Had the cath., ugh but no drain. The doc said never seen anyone recover as fast as me. Over all I am satisfied with my decision to have the surgery I have not been sick, no dumping which I am afraid of when I start to eat soft food next week. Im tried a little but that is to be expect I have been on liquids since 1/7/12. I go to see the nut. 1/30/2012 and I am off work for the next 6 weeks. I am not doing to bad on my Proteins and fluids. "down 14lbs" I do not have unrealistic expectations for my weight lose I didnt get myself in this shape over night and I dont expect to get out of it over night. Slow and steady wins the race.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
