Day 2 after surgery. I'll be in the hospital at least until tomorrow afternoon. Things didn't go exactly as planned...they got 4 holes poles in me and decided because of my anatomy they had to revert to an open rny. I'm in a lot of pIn tonight from the muscles and all being cut, but I have no gas pains. I was doing really well up until this evening but now the pain is crazy bad. They have upped feh delodid and Tylenol. I'm hoping tonight is the worse of it. More later or tomorrow.

Hang in it will be better keep positive!

Well they were right about weight after surgery!! I have over 7 pounds of fluids

I am still on the iv pain meds as well as Ringers solution and Benadryl. They aren't sure if I'm going home today.

RDC, every dr. is different in what they order for each patient. I had bloodwork drawn, EKG and chest Xrays. It took maybe 30 minutes or maybe longer not really a big deal!

CJS what about your anatomy could they not do the laposcopic procedure? I am kinda worried that it will happen to me since they are removing all of the stomach except the pouch.

The nurse who did my pre op stuff at hospital said it almost never happens that they have to open you for surgery! I sure hope he is right!

Hang in there and keep us posted on how you are doing.... :)

Thanks! The lady from from the hospital just said blood work work and everything else. Well that helps! Lol. Guess I'll find out on the 12th!

Hey everyone. Pre op diet has been a little rough but I just bought a scale and I'm down 2.6lbs in 2 days!! Only 1.4lbs to go to be under 300!!! My goal from day one was to be under 300 before surgery! So excited! How is everyone else doing. I can't believe it's December and we have people in our group having surgery now!!!

Absolutely. Each day it gets better. Today was certainly the best! Between 3-5 I seem to be the most hungry. And Jello does nothing lol. So I may try to have my lunch shake a little later. But today was great.

I don't think I'll ever prefer Protein Shakes again as long as I live! On the plus side, I'm not hungry at all. I suppose that has to do with the Protein satisfying me and the fact that that's what I have to eat/drink all day.

That's awesome! Each day seems to get better for me. I bought some samples of the nectar shakes. Found some yummy ones!

      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.
