I have a hiatal hernia, but havent met with surgeon yet to find out if she will repair during surgery or let it be.

Prayers and good vibes. Im told each day gets better.

Maybe since he didn't mess with it, it was that bad. When I had my surgery. He did my sleeve and repaired a hernia that I never knew I even had and he also removed some fat from behind my left breast plate as he felt it would cause a lot of acid reflux and issues for me. Other than that it went great . I'm sure if he has any concern he will let you know. I'm sure he will monitor it! Congrats on surgery and your transformation! Can't wait to see what you do(:

Tomorrow is my last day before my 2-week liquid diet starts on Wed. I've already cut coffee out slowly even though my nut said I didn't have to. They did say to try to stay away from caffeine for the 1st week after surgery so I didn't want to be going through caffeine AND food withdrawals at the same time [emoji15]

Anyhooo, I'll be taking a before picture and weighing myself one last time before the weight loss ensues.

I did the same with coffee. I figure I'll start it up again once I'm fully healed and eating solids with no problem.

I want to give details but I am still so drugged up. The surgery went well it was very fast. The only problem I'm having right now is getting up and down. My already week stomach will not tolerate the pain meds. They make me trow up

I also have this. They found it last week during my endoscopy. My doctor makes everyone have one prior to the surgery so they can fix it while inside. My surgery is on Friday and I'm having both procedures done. They said it will take about 3 hrs. I'll know about the pain Friday....not looking forward to it (the pain).

        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
