Surgery is Feb 16th. Surgeon approved FMLA paperwork for 4 weeks!!! I only am hoping for 2 weeks. I really hope she will sign me off at my 10 day appointment assuming no complications. :-(

I have short term disability pay at work, but I have so many project to attend to--- even 2 weeks will be rough. :-(

My surgery is Tuesday 24th, and I am going back to work that following Monday.....if I don't have any major complications. I do not have any more time to take off. So I am hoping that I can sit at work (I'm and admin), instead of fighting off my 3 year old that is very "mommy" when I am home :)

I'm on day 2 of pre-op diet and I'm hungry. I went to bed early last night so I could ignore my growling stomach. Surgery 2-25. How's everyone else's prepping going?

Chrissy bug my doctor it takes about 2 weeks to get over the fatigue. Your low on potassium and feel lifeless tired and lathargic. My Dr requires v8 juice, Tomato juice or Tomato Soup. They are all high in Potassium . I heard less painful than drinking Water. I'm on day three after surgery I am still in the hospital but will be coming home tomorrow. Will start my potassium regimen once released.

That explains why I recovered so fast. I was already on a potassium regimen for almost 2 yrs preop. And Tomato Soup is one of my favorite things. Lol. I don't want to brag, but I was back to my high pace lifestyle last weekend, minus the housework. Lost another 2lbs since surgery too.

      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.
