Okay so i got to the hospital at 5am, and checked in. Then they took me to the Pre-op area where I got my IV started and hooked up to lactated ringers and antibiotics. Then I met the Nurse anesthetist, operating room nurse, and anesthesiologist. Each of them reviewed my medical history with me, asked about allergies and such. my doctor came in and said hi. Then they gave me some sedation and took me into the OR.

I woke up in recovery and had been there for about an hour and a half. My pulse ox and BP were continually monitored. I initially had some mild pain, about a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. I have a morphine pump which I pressed every five minutes or so. When my room was ready they wheeled me there and my Mom was waiting for me.

my mom is a retired OR nurse so she and my floor nurse chit chatted for a whole, which was a bit annoying cause couldn't follow the conversation due to the morphine. After Mom left, I dozed on and off since then. I am not needing to push the morphine pump for pain. I only have a slight soreness now.

I have a catheter in and IV still. I just asked if I would be able to remove the catheter and go for a walk, but the doc wants me on bed rest today. No Water or ice chips or anything until tomorrow afteR my EGD :( but they did let me brush my teeth thank goodness! My mouth is so dry.

Well tomorrow is the day! Be at the hospital at 5:30am for a 7:30am surgery. I am doing bowel prep (yuk!) today after 2 weeks liquid diet and last two days of clear liquid only. I am ready to have a permanent seat on the losers bench! I hope all went well with our big group of Monday surgeries. Sending prayers and healing thoughts for everyone!

      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.
