I second that. They asked me if I wanted to stay and I said no.

Had surgery at 1030 this morning. Up and walking already. Sore in my stomach area but have a pain pump so I'm all good. :) worst thing has been the dry mouth. Get the upper xray in the morning

Congrats to all of you March losers. I think my insurance got the approval request today. I called to change my address with them and asked them if by chance there was an approval for surgery and she said no. Then she said oh, but we got something from the mayo today but its not processed yet but it's the only thing that it can be from them so I said I'd check back later in the week and they saidvto wait until Monday, don't thin I can do that, I'll try again Monday. At least that means I hopefully can get my surgery in April.

First day went great. Was up walking all evening. Sat up talking to a friend till midnight. Pain is pretty low. My husband had bypass yesterday too. He couldn't sleep so he walked to my room at 3am when nurse woke me up and again at 7am. We went for a long walk and now I'm down in cray awaiting my Upper GI so I can hopefully get unhooked from the catheter. So far so good. A lot smoother than I expected.

Sorry I haven't updated. Surgery was Monday, I am still alive!! It has been a very very rough couple of days. A lot a lot of gas and abdomen pain. Today I am feeling better. Yesterday I was switched from iv pain meds to pain pills an those are helping tremendously!!! The pain pump sucked. The first day with the amount of pain I was in I did cry and ask myself wtf have I done. My fiancée reminded me I would have that feeling so that helped. Each day is getting better. I have been doing great about walking, that has been much easier since they removed my catheter yesterday. As long as I get enough fluids on my own today i will go home.

Surgery done heading home feel great no gas pains. Incisions tender but nothing terrible. Just feels like I did 899 sit ups. Lol. Have to come back Friday to get my drain tube out. Went well

Had my drain and foley removed today. What a relief. Am soooo sore. But hold an ice pack against main incision when I got for my walks. Should go home tomorrow unless my labs are off. Wtg dolfinldy1!
Little sore today that 3 1/2 car ride home wasn't kind to me. I never noticed I-80 was so damn bumpy. And I have to go back Friday to get my drain removed and see my nutritionist. But every day will improve.

      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.
