I'm out of surgery and one day post op. I'm sore and have gas pain when I try to drink but otherwise doing well. I am keeping everything down and should be home tomorrow.

I came home yesterday and wasn't in too much pain. This morning, though...WHAMO! I am in crazy pain! I'm also running a low grade fever. Is that normal?

Bring saline, bio teen chap stick. They were a great help to me. I'm recovering and stayed with my diet like a flea on a blue tick coonhound! Walk walk walk the walk some more. Sipping is key also. You guys and dolls know this but I'm proof that it can be done. Peace to you all !

Yikes! That's no good. I just thought it was my body trying to heal itself. Is this worth an after hours call, or can it wait until the morning?

      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.
