I'm about six hours post op and Cant believe how "good" I feel considering this was my fourth abdominal surgery. What should've taken 45 minutes took three hours due to excessive scar tissue. The gas bloating feeling in my chest is awful

Leaving hospital tomorrow.

@@hockeymom38 The page says that it is closed and "no longer accepting new people." I'm assuming the administrator got a pretty large response.

Give it a few days. As a reminder: the group may possibly show up in the recommended pages to your friends and family. I did not know that until I joined. I chose not to tell anyone so I had to leave the group. I didn't want to answer questions from people.

Had my sleeve surgery yesterday at 5:00pm Mexico time. At first I thought I had made a mistake because the pain was so bad. Today it is not as bad, still have drain in and it will be removed tomorrow. I have a 6 hour flight home tomorrow after fluor test. I have had nothing by mouth since 9:30 Thursday night. I will get to have a few ice chips today and I am looking forward to that. Gas-x strip have helped with gas pain. I have been walking off and on since 4 hours after surgery.

Hey, I have head cravings too. But I think it will take months, if not longer, to get rid of that. I'm just trying to get different flavors. I walk between 3-6 km a day. But it's very tiring. I don't know what I have lost so far, as I don't have scales yet. I was 152kg on the opp day.

Drinking is slow and I feel, like I should drink more. But then it's come to "meal" time and I know I should not drink 30 min before and after, so it's hard to meet goals. I manage usually 4 "meals", still have to meet recommended 5 meals a day, but I'm still in recovery and sleep long, so not eanough hours in a day. ????

      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
