Hello! This is my first post and I am in my hospital bed having my surgery this morning. The two days before I just kept reading posts and doing more research. I kind of had cold feet.

But here I am. Luckily I had the "air" pain just under my ribs and I did have some nausea. I have had my meds as given or allowed. I would say my pain level is a 3 out of 10. I'm so happy I've done this. I was going to. Do the band, but I have to take 3 different pills each day. My primary Doc said I should do sleeve since it does not change the opening size. I just have to space out taking them.

Thank you to all of you on this forum. I've found it fascinating and helpful. Wishing everyone out there a successful and satisfying journey.

I'm getting ready to leave for the hospital for surgery at noon. My stomach is in knots! I'm ready for this to be over and to be on the other side. Good luck to the others having surgery today!

I'm home from the hospital. It went smoothly but now that I'm home I'm having pain. I have a liquid pain med but am told it tastes horrid. I'm already nauseas so I haven't taken it.

I am home as well. Surgery was Tuesday am and got home last night at 5. While I did so well in the hospital the pain came with the ride home. I take the nausea medicine first and then take my pills. I did three pills last night and four this morning. I did keep them all down. I'm taking it easy today, but I will try to stroll on the treadmill later today. Good luck to all of you and remember it does get better. I know the next few days will be tough but I have lots of support.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm worried about not drinking enough and now I am running a 99.7 fever. I'm wondering if I should take some liquid Tylenol.

        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
