I had a bit of a snicker at this too because it reminded me of me... I was so grateful to have the surgery over and so delerious from all the emotions, pain meds, and just confusion at the hospital. My husband has a lovely video of me smearing chapstick around and around and around on my lips over and over in slow motion whild saying "mmmmm" that he is threatening to blackmail me with! haha! Congratulations on your surgery and best of luck on your weight loss journey!

Looks like you are doing well and your surgery was successful. I was thinking maybe you were using google translate :D

And yet "anesthesiologist" is spelled to perfection. That's just plain talent.

This made me laugh until I cried!! :D

I'll be perfectly honest....if ever I'm having a bad day, I re-read this whole thread. and get such a great laugh out of it. I sure don't want anyone to think I am making fun of anyone, or laughing AT anyone. But the content of this thread is just hilarious and PRICELESS!!!

One of BP's best threads. It never stops giving. :)

And it's actually quite sweet, too.

Please know that no one is laughing at you. As long as you are doing well now that's all that matters. It was pretty funny.

I absolutely love this post! I had my sleeve on the 6th of Jan., 2015 and thought I was going to be superwoman and text all my support heros right after I got out! I have since returned to work (today, for the first full day) and they all had printed out the texts of our conversations on a HUGE welcome back banner! I can totally relate to thinking I was so coherient to really send out a mass text of my life in the Operating Room, as if I remember any of it! NOT. I do remember hitting the Morphine button a time or two!

I wish you the best in hopes you can look back and read that message and giggle, chuckle, or at least smile at how well you were feeling! Maybe translate in a few days after returning home!

Thanks for sharing that! I loved reading it!

This is by far the best post I've seen on BP yet! OP, thanks for giving everyone such a good laugh. I hope my anesthesiologist is as good as yours obviously was! Hope you're doing well!

      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.
