Gastric Sleeve 10-21-13



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Wednesday the 23rd and I can't believe I would feel up to going back to work in a week. I took the 3 weeks my Dr. recommended. How were you feeling 3 days out. I am so sore and tired, I can't wait for this soreness to go away.

I also was sleeved on the 21st and actually went in to the office for 3 hours on Thursday. I'm going back full time on Monday as well. I think that getting up and moving will actually feel better than resting so much.

I was also sleeved on Monday. I wanted to go back to work after a week but my surgeon made me promise to take two weeks off. Today is day 6 and while I could probably handle it, I'm grateful for another week (I'm a hair stylist). If for no other reason than just to have the time off for myself.

I was sleeved on Wednesday the 23rd and im going back to work on the 30 (1 week). I actually feel good enough to go back on Monday, but because my post op is on Tuesday I figure I'd just wait till that is over.

I'm 3 weeks post op and my doctor required me to take 6 weeks off! I think it may depend what your job is and plus I had my gallbladder out and a hiatal hernia fixed at the same time as my sleeve.

I was sleeved also on the 21st of October and the first week was so bad for me with feeling the urge to throw up and being in pain... But once I took my meds I was fine.... I am also going back to work tomorrow I feel the same way going back to routine will help as well Instead of laying all daylong... What is everyone eating as far as drinks and stuff?

Congrats to all of you on your WLS!!!

Good to read such positive results and being so upbeat and optimistic to return to work so soon

I'm pre-op start diet 11/1 and surgery 11/15

You're all an inspiration and helps me being pre-op get through these nerves taking over me.

I just made my Appt's required before surgery lab, EKG etc.

I got so nervous as i type I'm trying to overcome a panic attack. I took a Xanax since I suffer from anxiety and logged on here to get my head cleared up and on track again.

I'm feeling scared and questioning myself if can do it, then freak out thinking what if I come out if surgery and have panic/anxiety attacks everyday.

I'm asking myself if these nerves are a sign not to do it.

I'm scared because I'm a diabetic and keep think will my little stomach balance glucose/sugar after surgery

Did you all go through this too??

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
