Not again! Help! Need advice!



Recommended Posts

I fail to see any negativity from anyone, myself included.

You asked: If anyone knew of a set period of time that your doctor would want you healthy for....

That is asking for responders to provide you with medical advice. You were directed to the one person who could answer the question-your doctor.

I think your being overly sensitive and asked for advice that you claimed to already know-so, not sure what you wanted or expected???

You seemed more concerned with getting a surgery than going into that surgery fully healthy. I simply tried to offer advice that you requested.

Titling your post "Help! Need advice!" And then criticizing people who took time to address your request is...., well, I'll leave that up to you to decide. :-/

I did not criticize anyone's post. I stated what I wanted in a reply post; support and I am not being over sensitive. I was looking for support, plain and simple. Please read all posts before responding. I was not more concerned with "getting a surgery than going into that surgery fully healthy" as you stated Daniel and those are very opinionated and critical words in your part. You do not know me.

Why is everyone so judgmental and picking apart everyone's post here, not just mine, but each other's as well. I think we have enough outside forces to defend ourselves against, we don't need to turn on each other.

I feel that this would be a better SUPPORT group if we would stop criticizing and reading into posts and assuming one is or isn't concerned with.

Have some people forgotten the meaning of "support group"? I thought this group was supposed to support each other before and after surgery and not ask for a diagnosis on an issue! That is why we have pc docs and surgeons. Please people !

Carol please read all post before you respond. NO one was asking for a diagnosis, just support.

Oh man that sucks! The thought of it already being post poned once and now MAYBE again!? Heartbreaking for you, I'm sure!

But you know what? It's three weeks away - if you're on good antibiotics your bronchitis could be fully cleared up in a week. Two max. With hopefully a week to spare in good health again!

So let's hope you are or get on antibiotics really quick and kick that bronchitis to the curb!

Good luck again let us know what the surgeons says

Heather. You are right. I was lucky enough to get a great Urgent Care doc who put me on medication to help me heal before surgery. Thank you for your post, support, and kind words.

        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
