Looking for any April surgeries



Recommended Posts

I sure hope this helps you this time and you feel good inside and out. I'm anxious to hear how everything goes for you!!!

I've only told a few people myself! I just don't want to hear all the negative talk or the input they have. I'd rather just not hear anything. Even the one I told were like eh really your doing that. Do you really want to. So I'm like I'm done! All to myself from this point.

Neat your a sign language interpreter! I always said I wished I knew sign language! If we lived near each other you could teach me some things????

I'm over in England so we definitely don't live near! In Britain our sign language is totally different to ASL although I am planning to do an ASL course soon.

Definitely better to only tell people who really care x

Hi suepro. Whereabouts in England are you?

I'm in Perth Australia...also a long way away but lived in the UK for many years as my father is English.

I think the UK was right into the gastric band, and like Australia has recently moved more towards bypass due to the higher success of bypass and dismal failure of the band as a surgical method. I think the band was really a big expensive con!

Are you having the RNY or the newer Omega loop/ mini bypass?

So early April surgeries how did it go?

It went well. I was April 4th, so I'm a week out today. Still sore, but meeting my Protein and Water goals. Luckily, I haven't had any nausea since the first day. I did have a small intestinal hemorrhage in the hospital and lost a good bit of blood, so I've been sleeping a lot to let my body heal. But really, I can't believe how quickly the last week has gone by!

Good luck to those of you coming up!

I just had my surgery last Wednesday, April 6. I stayed in the hospital 4 days. I'm doing pretty good. Getting my Protein & liquids in no problem. I was so afraid this was going to be much worse. Right now all is good! Good luck to you!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
