Hope it all turns out okay with the surgery and tests. I didnt start exercising until 4 months out. Your body will lose the,weight at its own pace no matter what you do.

Still in pain and can't eat I have to wait until Apr.2 for them to go in and see if i have a stricture,so only pain meds and liquids until then.

I've started therapy for postpartum depression and my eating habits and today i had a real eye opener cause the dr thinks i might have a restriction or possible leak so im undergoing the procedure to check and see' date='its outpatient.[/quote']

How did they come to that conclusion?

He said due to the stomach pain,not being able to swallow or keep things down,it sounds like a restriction but they'll know more when they go in. To be honest I really think I've chosen the wrong surgeon i didn't attend any classes.I had one psych appt,one nutritionist appt and within less than a month I was approv for surgery,I guess you get what you pay for and im paying now!!!

Do not see it that way.. I too did everything quick and also one visit for everything. It depends on ur body, and how you heal. I know everything is going to be ok for u. It happens..

Its more likely that your poych is swollen and angry due to eating outside of recommended guidelnes early on. Hopefully thats,all it is. If they thought you had a leak I would think they would do surgery right away. Thats deadly

I couldn't eat or drink and doctor said is was not a structure because I wast vomiting. He did scope for precaution and I had muscle spasms. I had to take some meds and it got better over time. My process for surgery was super quick and easy too. But the support groups are very helpful an it increases your success rate.

What are your symptoms of why they think I have a stricture or leak?

For me one day I can't get no fluids in, then the next day I do ok. I have a lot of pain on the lower and upper left side. I have a lot of tightness and pressure in my chest. I'm one week post op.

Good luck to you. I completely understand tyke emotions.

Good luck....be honest with your MD so he may treat and fix what might me going on. I Hope it's minor.

      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.
