I hope you are feeling better soon, and that at least you start to get some relief. I had a catheter when I had a hysterectomy for 3 days at home and it wasn't much fun. But if it does the trick it should provide some relief. Hope you get good news tomorrow!

Oh wow! That is scary! I hope everything is ok. Do you have any trouble breathing when you are laying flat? Did they have you doing the spirometer or whatever it is called when you were in the hospital?

So glad you got this checked out. What's really not normal is continuing to gain weight after coming home.

I'm hoping for some good news and relief for you tomorrow.

I hope everything is okay! I'm a little concerned for you. That weight gain is very odd. How are you feeling? Do you feel unwell or okay?

Yes, please keep us posted!

Thank you all. I appreciate it. My appointment is in a little over 1 hour.

I know this sounds bad, but I hope they find something. I just want to know what's wrong. Gaining 23 pounds in 7 days just makes no sense to me. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it.

So, I really hope the cardiologist can find out what's wrong. If he doesn't find anything then I'm not sure what to do next. I just know something isn't right.

And as of last night, it now hurts to walk at all (which is also difficult for me to understand because 1 week ago I was walking 10-15 miles a day). Now it hurts just to stand up and walk to another room.

Fatty McFatster - good luck at your appointment. Gaining that much weight in such a short period, the ankle swelling and the pain are a sign of SOMETHING. If the cardiologist doesn't find it...then keep on plugging away and make an appt with your PCP. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark! :wacko:

Ankles keep swelling more and more. Almost the same size as my calf muscles now.

@@Fatty McFatster - praying for you to get an answer. That is more than a few pounds and I would be scared too. Calling the doctor was the right thing to do...

PLEASE POST as soon as you are able and let us know you are ok and whats going on.

      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.
