CrystalVT, got a last minute call today to go have a endoscopy it's scheduled for may 9th. Hope it doesn't screw things up. I'm hoping it's just a last minute test that insurance is requesting. Fingers crossed.

Hello everyone. I am 12 hours post op. Still at the hospital. Besides some pain manageable with pain meds that's it. No nausea or vomiting. My doctor said surgery took all of 35 minutes. I remember when the put the oxygen mask on and the I woke up in recovery. When they told me it was done I didnt believe them because I was feeling too well. So I looked under my gown and there they were. 6 little scars. Looking gorgeous. No bleeding or bruising. I can't explain to you guys how happy I am that I made this decision. Have not regret any of it. Sooooo many good things to come!

Preop weight: 210

Surgery weight: 198.2

Goal weight: 125-130

May 2nd for me, I start the liquid diet April 18th. Feeling calm about it right now.

I'm only a few days ahead of you on April 29th :)

I presume you're on the pre-Op diet then, how's it going?

I did it for 2 weeks. I just had to keep it under 1500 calories. I'm dressed and ready to go!

@@byebyebmi, I'm scheduled for the 25th too! Day two of my pre-op clear liquid diet and I'm hungry, but not starving. Just need to keep my mind busy.

How are you doing?

I am scheduled on 4/27 for the gastric sleeve. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I had a lapband in 2007 but it prolapsed in Aug of 2015. The band worked while it worked but it was all over with when they removed the Fluid in August. I have regained a significant amount of weight back. I had reached my goal weight of 147 and was able to maintain for three years until the band prolapsed. And now I feel like the good year blimp! Lol... But moving on!

Home today. Minimal pain. Just felt sick when I took liquid Tylenol for the pain. Man. It had sugar. That made me feel sick for like 2 hours. Never doing that. As much as I hate it I'll stick to the oxi. Some gas but not too bad. Besides the little soreness in my stomach I feel normal.

VSG: 4/18/16

HW: 225

SW:198

GW:125-130

So exciting to see how many people that have had their surgeries and those that are about to have them. I am scheduled for April 25th. In Jacksonville, Florida at Baptist Medical Center. I only had a one week pre op diet and I'm 5 days from my surgery!!!!! I am apart of a private/secret group on Facebook and if anyone would like to join send me a message and I'll give you my name to find me on Facebook. We have to be friends for me to add you. We have people that are 2 months post op and a lot of pre op people as well.

Good luck to all of you that are having surgery today!!! I know that everything will be great and you can start the rest of your life as soon as your eyes open!

      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.
