One major bummer about staying another day - I'm more out of my mind! I don't have anyone with me and I'm sharing a room with an elderly woman who doesn't have control over her loose bowels ????

I'm starting to walk now but I can still barely get in any Water. There's no way they'll let me leave drinking this little so I need to get my butt in gear. Easier said than done.

@@della street you are running circles around me! Glad you feel so great! I just spoke with my doc's team and it looks like they're letting me leave today! I can't spend anymore time in this joint - the beds, the smells, the sound effects! I'm feeling ok, with some gas pain - but I'm doing some walking to help. My incisions (5) hurt but it's more annoying sore. I still have to up my liquids. How is everyone else doing?

Pain is much more controlled today and nausea not too bad.

Very difficult getting all my fluids in when all I want to do is sleep. But in trying!!

Wahoo @@della street! What about you @@joleno? It's so helpful to know other people going through the same things - even if we did get different procedures done! I'm currently using a smart Water squeeze bottle and I'm legit just letting it dribble into my mouth. It's not much at a time but it's doing the job

      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.
