Sleeved today 10/15/15



Recommended Posts

I have started my venture on the losers bench.

Check in was 7:30 am and surgery was scheduled for 9:30. It got pushed a few hours.

I got to recovery around 4:30 ......... I did have pain about a 7 out of 10 but the nausea was at like a 20 it was terrible. The nurses took such good care of me they kept giving me different nausea drugs untill we got it all sorted out

If you bring 1 thing other than your person it should be BIOTENE MOUTH SPRAY. It wets your mouth and gets all the funky tastes out etc. I can not urge you more the get the $6 spray

My lower back is what hurt me the most when I got into my room. Other than that things have been bearable. The nurse let me Stand in the room to stretch my back and so I could go pee. When I got comfortable they gave me some pain and nausea meds and it knocked me out till about 7.

I got up and did about 6 laps around the unit. The nurses were so encouraging telling how much better I looked etc

Surgery weight 224.2

Height 5'2

Wow, you are already on your phone after surgery. Good for you!

The nausea sucks. I did everything I could, had them give me meds, tried to gag with my toothbrush, tried to throw up, etc., to get the feeling off my chest.

Sounds like you are doing great. I did not have anything to drink from 8PM on 10/6 to 8AM on 10/8 and it was SO HARD. No ice, no Water, nothing. I thought I was gonna die, but I survived like you!

Keep up the good work.

      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.
