Wow, what dedication on your part! I'm know it sucks not having a true diagnosis yet, but in cases like yours we always treat everything it could be, and then start working backwards in terms of ruling stuff out. *hugs*

I love that philosophy! Do no harm, treat worst case scenario and then use all factors to figure out what's going on. And that's what they are doing. I personally just do better when I understand why things are happening. I understand why the process is going the way it is bit am worried we aren't nailing down a diagnosis yet. Time will tell. Test is over and a little more relaxed.

I was supposed to take my children on vacation beforentals my masters program starts next Thursday and that's causing some bummed feelings. But health is more important and we can find something fun locally later maybe.

Thank you! We do what we must. It was a must ;)

I am so sorry you don't have answers but glad your pneumonia is better.

I hope you get good news tomorrow and an A on your exam.

Happy Birthday! It is going to be a great year.

Thank you! It's going to be an Awesome year! For you too :)

Well, there'should been no vacation. I'm still in the hospital. I took my final exam in here (she faxed it to my nurse) They still aren't 100% sure on anything except the pneumonia. They were going to release me but my pulse has been 36-40 all day so I'm being held for observation . I get an echocardiogram in the morning and we'll see...

Thanks for the well wishes everybody

Thank you! It's pretty odd to me as well. They are trying to get my heart rate above 60 but it keeps dropping. On a good note, grades were posted today and I got a 98% on the test I took in here and an overall 95%in the class. So I passed all 3 prerequisites with flying colors and as long as I get out by Thurs, I can walk in orientation with my head held high!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
