Thank you! Yes, a little. More nervous about keeping all the Vitamins, pills and injections straight after. I'm trying to come up with some organization and checklist for it to go through everyday so I don't miss anything.

They also gave me a RX for something to prevent gallstones. Which could be helpful in preventing your gall bladder to be removed down the road. BUT it costs $350 a month. They told me it was optional but if it'll really prevent them and additional surgery down the road, I feel like I should take it.

Has anyone heard about this and the effectiveness?

I haven't heard of it but I had my gallbladder out already. He didn't mention injections to me either...but I've been reading about people needing to do that..I really don't like needles so I hope I won't have too

Yes they are lovenox- a blood thinner. I have to do it for 30 days!

You both are lucky!

Good luck to you, Rlinda72!!

Did u fill it yet? I had orthopedic surgery and had to do. It is very expensive!! Insurance covered 20 days I think, but after that the syringes were crazy money. Hope your RX covers it...it's not that bad, my son (12) used to give them to me, he loved it!

It's filled, should I get it?

Yes, between this and the blood thinners, paying for surgery, my kids can no longer attend college

My surgery is at 10 am in the morning!

      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.
