Hi All,

I'm doing well ???? been up for a shower, walking around the ward.

Had 3 small spoonfuls of yogurt. Siping Water. Tried peppermint tea for gas. But I'm burping. Woke up from theater well, I was able to do mindfulness and the nurses helped me stay present. Emotionally I'm so happy with my choice, feeling in control.

Feeling very sore, and nausea comes and goes. My stomach muscles hurt! But it's so worth it!!

Thanks for all the kind words xx I'll keep posting.

Yay! Thank you for updating us! Any advice for us who are post-op? Is there anything we should know to pack in our bag? ☺

That second shower was pure heaven... sigh.

I'm up and walking around the ward, drinking well. Just need to focus on siping because I get distracted lol I'm taking my morning medications (3 tablets) over a 40min period.

Didn't sleep well, different environment and lots of strange noises. I see my doctor soonish so hopefully today or tomorrow for home.

Feeling proud of myself ????

@@Ebony Rose,

Congratulations on your surgery! Thanks for telling us your background so we can go through your journey with you with a greater understanding! I am so glad it went well for you and you are happy with your choice.

Thanks for all the updates. It is great not only to know that you are doing well, but it is also good to learn what you are feeling and thinking at each stage before and after surgery. It helps us all know what to expect. Good luck as you keep moving forward!

Glad you are doing well!

Yes, hospitals are noisy places, with lots of activities in the mornings.

I had a private room, and took Ear Plugs and Eye Shades with me, and I used to wake up, then dose a bit, then I would be woken up for vitals, then dose again etc.

Hope you are cleared for home soon :)

The only thing I needed was my phone, a charger, and a robe. I slept most of the time, so I really didn't need anything else. I wore the same clothes home that I wore to the hospital, since I barely had them on.

Love reading all the stories! Makes me feel not so alone on this journey! I'm scheduled for surgery on 10/26. I'm 5'0 189 (after the 6 months of weigh in appt) started at 215. My goal is 50-60lbs. Praying I get approved for the surgery. Should know this week. I'm super nervous for the surgery.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
