April Dates



Recommended Posts

Hello! I did great with zero complications. I'm in a little pain but its being treated with meds. I had to walk three laps yesterday which was pretty easy. Today I'll have to walk 6-8 laps. I am also going home today around 5pm. Can't believe I'm a post opper!! I hope everyone else's went well and good luck to everyone that's having surgery today! This is so exciting!

I'm so glad everything went smoothly for you! isn't the excitement weird? I was not expecting to feel that, but I can't wait to go home and get on the treadmill and start living a more active life !

Ok. So I had my surgery yesterday. Lap band removal to rny. Surgery was supposed to take an hour and a half but took four. When I you the lap band they fixed a hiatal hernia. My doc says my last surgeon did not fix it the right way so he had to redo it. Also I had a lot of scar tissue even though I only had the band for two years. I had sx at 7:30am, but did not make it into a room until 6:30 am because there were none available. My husband stayed with me he whole time and stayed the night. My parents had to leave before I got in a room and will be coming back to visit today. I was told I will likely be going home tomorrow. I cannot have anything to drink until I have my upper gi later this morning. Do far so good and not hungry at all!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
