Haven't packed yet, but not taking much since it's only a 23 hour stay at the hospital. I have to be there at 6:00 am. and we live 1.5 hours away, so I'll be getting up at 3:45 a.m. to get ready to go. Hey at least I'll get some sleep during surgery!!

Good luck to all of us!!

How is everyone doing? I had sugery at noon. Slept most of the day, so now I'm wide awake. All these wires and tubes ate driving me nuts. So far, so good! Hope everyone else is doing great!

Got home this afternoon...OMG that leak test upper G.I. is awful...tasted like drinking old soapy mop Water with Pine Sol mixed in...yuck.

I had the gas pains in my shoulder blade after surgery too, but after about 4 trips walking up and down the halls it all went away. I think that's the key to getting rid of it.

My body aches all over though and I feel like they must have dropped me on my tailbone because my butt hurts a lot.

I'm trying to sip Water and some Protein shake, but everything tastes really nasty.

I hope everyone else is home today and doing well.

      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.
