5 days post :) (This is my first post)



Recommended Posts

Hi! I am mexican 23 years old and my bmi was 41 before the operation. I choosed Gastric Sleeve in Mexico with doctor Henry Mansur.

I took this road because last year I was in Europe and even when I changed my eating habits and I did a lot of exercise: I couldn't manage to loose more than 5 lbs. I really love mexican food, but I realized that it would be easier to cut it of my life after this months away from it.

So I came back from Europe 29 March and my operation was programmed at March 31. I was very sad because hubby wanted to eat a hole mexican buffet in front of me. But I did it well till the pre and during the medical process.

Everything was ok with my analysis and today I'm 5 days post op. The only problem is that I feel a lot of pain in my back on the left. I hope is nothing serious, but still I'm terrified. I called my doctor and he recommended taking a shot of Alin Depot and pain medication. And if that doesn't stop the pain we will meet tomorrow.

And also my face is covered with pimples. Is this normal ?

Thanks. This space keep me very motivated.

      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.
