Thankful for the support



Recommended Posts

I just want to say how thankful I am for the support here. My husband of 20 years left me 2 weeks before surgery. I thankfully have wonderful family and friends. Thy have supported me and thankfully all of you support me on this journey.

I had surgery on the 8th. Had a small hiccup and had some internal bleeding and they had to go back in a couple hours later but thankfully was resolved. Close to needing transfusion but thankfully not needed. Body just working hard at healing and replenishing red blood cells. Lots of rest is helping. On soft foods and doing ok. Saw dr yesterday cuz I had some pain on left side only when I moved a certain way. They think it's muscular - aggregated the muscle they cut through. Positive is I'm down 23 lbs. 13 pounds since surgery.

I read the posts everyday multiple times. These posts are very helpful and inspire. Thank you!

      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.
