Seen my doctor today for pre admitting. Can't wait for march 24th to come. Kinda down because doctor said I might have to much scar tissue to do sleeve the same time. I'm praying he can because my insurance changes over in April. "Ugh"

Anyone else having really bad dry mouth after being home? I think it might be the nausea med, I have to put under my tongue 4x a day

I had terrible dry mouth in the hospital. Ice chips helped the most. Crush some ice and suck on it. Helps get your Water in too.

if you are on the hydrocodone liquid pain med that's what it is it stopped the day I switched to Tylenol

I found swishing Water in my mouth and gargling a bit helped a lot without actually swallowing.

I'm sitting in the hospital waiting on my surgery. I have been calm all the way until now. I spoke to my 9year old daughter over the phone and she started crying now I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack. Ughhhhhh

Thinking of you! Just had a bedtime prayer with my 8 year old. Sweetness is to hear your child pray for you. It's terrifying too. But deep breaths - we got this! I'll be at the hospital in about 13 hours. Hope you're doing ok. Post when you can!

Hi everyone. ... I've been reading posts on this site for a while now. I'm starting to get really excited and anxious. I Am scheduled for March 21 . I'll be flying down to San Diego...is anyone having surgery in Tijuana around that time? I don't have to much support from family and friends but it is something I've wanted for a long time. I'm 27 and ready to start a new life. Just looking for some positivity

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
