I feel the same way. Barely any pain, just soreness like I did a lot of crunches. My incisions have no pain and if it wasn't for seeing them, I wouldn't know they are there.

Luckily, I watched my swallow test on the screen so I know I was really sleeved and I can feel my restriction.

Today is day 3, I am going to get my nails done, I had to take my gel polish off for surgery, and walk around the mall.

I have a lot of energy but being cold all the time is getting annoying.

Did they tell you you had to remove your gel polish??? I don't like naked nails or chips!!! ????????

They told me no polish at all. I asked about leaving one nail naked and they said no. All nail no polish. My nails are really strong though since I take Vitamins and collagen anyway and have for years. They are like talons, so 2 days with clear polish wasn't an issue. I used Seche Vite top and base coat and I used this stuff called rock hard that I got at Sally's in between. No chips no breaks.

I did get to keep my toenail polish. They just want your nails naked so they can check your oxygen levels

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
