My surgery is 2 hours away. I would have driven myself there but then didn't know what LOL. I probably would have driven myself home LOL but clearly that's not safe. But once I get home, I am on my own with everything and my pain & health, thus why I am getting a ton done this week. You are not alone my friend!!!

I hope you have older ones in the bunch who can help. Years ago I had a fantasy of having 5 kids.

Feeling much better on day 2 and 3. Day 1 was tough. My morphine pump messed up throughout the night and stopped working so I was med-free for awhile and in a lot of pain. Once that was under control, I was doing better. Coughing hurts, but using a pillow and having one leg off the bed helps. Hope y'all are well.

Yes it is! Day 1 was hell all I wanted to do was sleep so I couldn't feel pain and that coughing was horrible. You feel like you need to throw up but all you are doing is dry heaving lol. The 2nd day wasn't too bad and today being my 3rd dayI I feel 89% better my stomach isnt too sore but still painful getting up and out of bed for walking or going to the bathroom. So happy you are going through everything at the same time! :)

I have not weighed myself. I'm still retaining so much Water so why look yet. Plus the scale is under the bed and i can not bend over drs orders, husband is at work and kids are at school so no way of reaching it. No pain just some soreness. :)

Yea same here feeling very bloated and can hardly bend. I feel you...I might wait a while till I weigh myself so I don't get discouraged or too excited cause I lost 5lbs and then weigh myself again and notice I have not lost anything.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
