I had my surgery on Friday May 17th I got o come home yesterday. I'm doing pretty good not having any issues except I feel super full all the time. Not hungry at all. I had a low heart rate after surgery so I have to have it checked out. They didn't seem to hunk it meant anything but the doctor suggested I have it looked at. They also did a EKG in he middle of he night on Fruday and it came back fine. Soo I have an appointment on the 29th to have it checked again. I have to have another EKG before the appointment. I hope it's nothing my mom had a low heart rate after her knee surgery so it could just run m my family. We will see. Other than hat was not nervous at all before going in. Cracked jokes at my surgeon had everyone laughing!! I am not in pain and haven't taken any pain meds today t all. Walked down the street a little ways

S this afternoon. Not very far though. All in all I'm doing great!!

Glad to see all is well.

I know what ya mean! Glad your okay. It will get easier. It was a tough weekend for me, but I got up and went to the mall to walk. The gas was the worst feeling. I took hot showers, a heating pad and used Gas X strips. Thank goodness its subsided! I hope your feeling better soon.

Hang in there May ladies (and gents)! My surgery was 4/9 and it wasn't a picnic. We are freaking our bodies out an they react in different ways. I have my energy back and start 'regular' food today. Even though i've been grumpy at times,, teary, frustrated and just plain tired, I would NOT change my mind about having this surgery. I am down 43 lbs and loving it! Hang in there and keep your eyes on your long range goals of a healthier life.

        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.

        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
