Right before I had my surgery a good friend of mine asked what my goal size was, and I told her a 10. The day I came home from surgery, she came over and had bought me a pair of jeans from Victoria's Secret in size 10. I remember looking at them thinking, "wow, I will never fit in these tiny things".

I wore them today :)

Had two more TIAs yesterday....happy happy to be alive. well since I cant take baby aspirin I have to take plavix and they just found out that plavix can cause bleeding in gastric bypass patients now I don't know what to do! I know that God will get me through this and everything will be fine now thats a victory!

Omygosh! I hope that your doctors can find a suitable drug. I was on Coumadin/Warfarin blood thinners for a year following a pulmonary embolism. Once the correct dosage is figured out, it wasn't a big deal. There are some tricky dietary restrictions, but nothing compared to post RNY.

Sending lots of prayers your way. Maybe Coumadin or Lovenox? Hang in there.

The tests show no major stroke ( thank god) the other answer could be atypical migraines...no answer for that, unfortunately. Stroke - like symptoms. Very scary stay away from stress, avoid hypoglycemia. Don't drive, etc

thank you for the well wishes

Thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts.

Look into adding L-arginine to your Vitamins. Its an over the counter supplement that relaxes your blood vessels. (Dilates them) if you have high blood pressure start with 6x 1000mg capsules a day, 2 per meal.

If you have low blood pressure start with half of that. It's absolutely amazing stuff. Google it.

      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.
