Nope. "It's normal but you can try these patches". For $176. Wah wah wah.

Gee thanks for nothing, huh? That sucks. I'm sorry. My biggest issue is a stitch sticking out. I still haven't contacted my doc but I need to. It's starting to itch and scabs over but I itch it and pick the scab because I'm itching it.

Yeah. I went to walgreens and only got 2 Patches for $23. They are kinda big so I could probably cut em in half or even quarters. But yeah. Damn!

I've heard of that! I feel like I've read that they just need to work en self out?? They hurt? That'd freak me out. Haha

Well mine doesn't hurt. So I have that going for me. Hopefully those patches work out for you. At least they let you buy a few for less than a million dollars to try.

Ok. So I've had a lidoderm patch on for about 2.5 hours. I think they might actually work. So far I've been able to get up off the couch with almost no pain! The first time since surgery. These things might be worth $176. Haha.

Disregard my pity party earlier. :)

Yes. I'm anxious to go to bed to see if I can get more than one hour of sleep at a time.

I'm so happy. I can leave it on for 12 hours and then have to wait another 12 hours to put another one on. It'll be interesting to see how the 12 hours between will go.

Anyone step on the scale get an amazing # then get off & back on again and the great # magically disappears.

I never get on the scale more than once. My scale matches my PCP's scale perfectly and never thought about it. Lol

I took 3 TBS this morning. Today is day 3 without going and I've felt like I needed to go all day yesterday. What's that saying? There I sat all broken hearted, needed to poop but only farted...

Bahahahaha. Yes! Every time. Every time I think I gotta go, it's just farts. Heh. I was going to take some more yesterday, but I have class all day today. No class tomorrow, so I'll take some later today. And maybe a dulcolax. Haha.

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

        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.

      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
