Sleeved on 2/18/2014, woke up in ICU



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on the 18th and I woke up in the ICU? I was allergic to the anaesethic( cant spell it). anyone else have this happen to them? I guess I was paralyzed and it took almost 6 hours for the sedative to wear off. I woke up with a breathing tube down my throat, boy, was I scared. So far, I have been doing okay, I get food cravings still, I know I have enough will power to say no to my cravings and I do but my brain is still saying to me, hey your bored...go find something to eat. what do you do then? ive been keeping myself busy by cleaning mostly. my incisions are looking really good, I just wonder how the inside is doing. Just wanted to drop a few lines, Im new to this forum and wanting to make some new weight loss friends....

I have had a anasetitic before, I guess just with that kind of sedative my body couldn't handle. I don't know, went to the doctors today and I have lost 15 pounds!! yay me, I feel good about that, mind wise, but my body is still telling me hey your hungry go eat.....how does everyone overcome the temptations?

I am glad to hear you are ok now. I can't begin to comprehend how scary that must have been. I have been craving Chipotle since day 1 after I got home. I wont be able to eat for months and months, so currently my head hunger is for something completely unrealistic and I am aware of that. Honestly, the food I can eat is so unappetizing to me (as I am on pureeds) there isn't much motivation needed. Honestly though, as long as i drink my Protein and sip my Water I seem to be doing ok keeping the chipotle thoughts at bay.

      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
