Awesome, thanks! My surgeon said this won't be nearly as painful as gallbladder surgery so I'm hopeful this won't be too bad. I don't plan on being in bed much. My doc requires I be up and walking when they send me up to my room after surgery. I'm looking forward to getting this started! The wait is killing me!

Hi I'm from Syracuse and am having my surgery with dr Graber on the 28th this month. Kinda nervous and excited. How is the pain after surgery? Can you still swallow medications that you need to take? Thanks all.

Yay for you! I didn't really have much pain, but the gas discomfort was no joke. It was like up around my shoulders and made it difficult to get comfy. But, walking the halls relieved it a little, so I did a lot of that. And I was able to swallow pills right away without any problems.

      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.
