So my turn for the er. My dr office finally called me back and sent me to the er. Waiting on labs and a us. Just in a lot of pain and having a lot of pressure. No bleeding so that's somewhat more positive but I'm extremely scared.

Thank y'all. Still waiting. I'm getting pumped with fluids right now I was pretty dehydrated. I haven't got the labs back yet or not that they told me. I was told I was going to US but haven't went yet. Just scared but

Hope it's not much of nothing. Thanks. I could really use the prayers. I'm scared.

Ok wide awake can't sleep all I keep thinking about is that the past month my weight loss has been sooooo slow and what if I don't lose all my weight. ..I don't know why I get so upset over it when sometimes I feel like "wow I've lost so much weight in 5 months" and now I think of how much more I need to lose and think I'm not gonna get there...I'm sorry I know I've said this all before it just really gets to me..am I the only one worried they won't reach their goal? ?

Missed my neurology appt...shoot.needed two transfusions. Had a serious bleed. My blood count went down to 6.5... Normal is 14! My bp is 83/38.....really not good. After the transfusions it went up to 90/57, blood count was almost 9. And they let me go home. This is all from sneaking maybe two cigarettes a week...I thought you had to have H pylori to have ulcers BUT NO! I'm done smoking for good.. I had quit before surgery and started 3 1/12 months after...big mistake!

Darn maybe the neurologist can sqyeeze you in when you explain you were in hospital..Did they say you should heal on your own? Yikes quitting is so hard I quit almost 2 weeks before and I did have one when me and my hubby went to a concert a few weeks ago but it doesn't interest me on a regular basis thank god! Hope you are feeling better tomorrow

      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.
