My Doctor faked my surgery!

The original post was not tongue in cheek at all. I'm not even sure it was cleverly crafted click bait.

This is funny because my wife and I were starting to ask the same thing...lol!

My surgery was on 09/11/2015, and I had one day of grogginess and laziness and took 1/2 a dose of they pain meds. The next night I took my regular dose, and slept my 6 hours with no issues,and have not really stopped since then. I mean I finished up my liquid diet on 09/17, and 09/18 I went to phase 2 which I will be until my 6th week. I am keeping it to meats, cheese, yogurts, Beans, eggs, and wheat thins...but hot sauce or spicy foods are no problem at all....veggies are harder to get in but I work them in as well. I can tell from the weight loss that I am on the right path though...how messed up would it be to be the placibo sleeve...lol

I love it when people tell others how they should and should not post, when the topic should change or not change and attempt to speak for "everyone" or "we all" when stating their own opinion. HA!

I had a great overall experience too. I was back to work a week later. I did however have to work all day at getting fluids and Protein in the first few weeks. I plan out and prep all my food/protein drinks ahead of time and that makes things easier.

Your experience sounds nearly identical to mine

As a blog site owner, we all know that great post titles are the way to get people to read and reply.

Except this is a terrible inflammatory title. You have your surgeons name in your profile and you are accusing them of malpractice.

Really!!!! Malpractice from a title. The point is to read the blog which clearly does not suggest she didn't perform my surgery. And so you are aware since i seems my point is not being taken by you and Emma, I said the same thing to my doctor when I had my post op about her actually doing surgery. Please move on or skip the thread if you have nothing better to reply or better yet nothing better to do than to scrutinize the title of my thread.

Thanks to all the others who understood what I was writing and not take things to an entire different level than what the title was meaning.

Yes, In my opinion these are unhappy people and there is nothing you can do about it. They do not have to post anything, clearly they can exit the thread at anytime if they do not like what they read.

I am 9 days out and have only taken pain Meds once since home(the 1st day), have no problem getting my fluids in, & 2 Protein Shakes a day. I have very little discomfort, and I still lost 20 lbs in 8 days post-op at follow up yesterday. I honestly think I could handle regular food right now but i'll wait. I think it just depends on the individual. Good luck.

I was feeling the same way. I started regular foods (chewing 30 times or more) so I didn't have to pureed 2 days early. I can eat full snack size pudding in one setting. I can also get 3 ounces of chicken or turkey in.

Yes, I am with you on taking it slow so I only try eating twice a day and still drink my Protein Shakes and Protein drinks for the other two meals.

Keep up the good work and thanks for replying to my thread appropriately.

Ruh roh!

I'm working up a head of steam again about message board amateurs who start threads and then whine about what others post in response.

Honey no whinning here. I do jabe a problem when they are negative post just like your post. It's supposed to be a site where people support people not voice their negative unwarranted opinions about something trivial as a title.

      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.
