I check in tomorrow at 7am also for 9am surgery, but am MST. Saw my doc today and he said he sucks most gas back out and so we'll see how I am tomorrow. Good luck to our group on the 29th. Now I need to go read the thread, "what to pack for the hospital"

Laying in this hospital in PAIN! I was warned about the gas pains but I dismissed the warning and advice. Well I am now in horrible pain:(

It feels like major rumbling in my tummy then finds its way to my chest. The nurses recommend walking, so I'm walking but still in pain!! Help

Overall everything went good

Well had surgery around 1:00 PM today everything went great. Some gas pains, but not as bad as I have read about. I'm sip, sip, sipping Water, and chewing ice. I also had an Otter Pop, that was yummy.

Good luck 29's your gonna rock this!

I'm so sorry to hear that. How frustrating. Stay strong. It's not that far off but very disappointing to say the least.

Looks like a bunch of our poor 28s are having a rough day! I hope tonight everyone is able to get some better pain meds (ask for liquid dilottid of they will give it to you!!) And walk when you can to help the gas.

I'm up late, yes its 1:23am. I decided that since I have to be up around 4 to get ready to go to the airport I'd just clean and stay up. I'll sleep on the plane and maybe in the drive from San Diego to MX. I can always sleep by the pool too :) Just don't want to risk an alarm not waking me up and missing this flight, its too important! Heading up in a minute to sort my clothes (its a mess) by size, take measurements and before pics! I'm excited to get going tomorrow.

We have 6 more going into surgery today! I hope you all have a great surgery and everyone comes through without too much pain. Good luck 29ers!!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
