Feeling overwhelmed today. Had my endo yesterday & had a hard time with the narcotics wearing off. Once the sedative finally wore off, I felt high as a kite & it's finally subsiding about 36 hours later. I missed an extra day of work that I wasn't planning on and have a Migraine, yet the worst part was hearing my results. I had no clue that I would have so much deterioration of my esophagus, let alone a large hiatal hernia. A couple of providers are lagging on getting medical records to my surgeon. I've made so many phone calls and get the same story, they supposedly faxed them multiple times, yet the surgeon's office insists they haven't gotten anything. I don't even know which place to trust. How hard is it to fax a few pages??? I suppose the next step is to request the records in-hand & drive them to their office myself, which would require taking another day off work. After all of this, I just feel NUMB.

Congrats and welcome to our May surgery list! I added you to our list. You have a surgery buddy on May 1. I told my hubby' date=' children and just a few close friends/family. Didn't tell my mom or sisters because they are jealous and negative of everything, nonsupportive and they would just be so judgmental. Don't need any of that. Plus, this is for ME! :-)

Surgery date: May 14, 2013[/quote']

Thanks. I told hubby kids and a few close friends. My sis is in medical business so she has a different perspective and is also worried about something happening to me. Heading to Boston now and am not nervous just kind if excited. This is my new birthday. Sign me. Skinny girl inside just waiting to dance!!

Welcome back! I can't believe we are actually in May already!! I love this group we have. It's great that we have so much support from one another. How long is your puree diet?

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • 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
