OMG... first let me say that I am not happy to hear you are not feeling well, but I thought I was the only one not feeling well. I had surgery on dec 5 and Everyone else seems like they can do a marathon but I don't right now. I still feel weak and I have intermittent pain as well. I walk but by no means is it fast due to I still feel very sore. I'm glad someone else can relate. I was starting to feel like something was wrong with me. Hope we both feel better soon????????????

I know.., it's just discouraging a lil bit to hear some people darn near running 6 miles and I'm like "what's wrong with me"... but like you said we are healing and everyone is different.

Hi! I'm new to this app and would love to join you all! My husband and I are both having the sleeve gastrectomy on Monday, December 19. Most times I'm glad we're doing it together since it makes me feel a bit braver with him by my side, and then other times I think we must have lost our minds when we made the decision to do it on the same day!

@@kenz, thanks for sharing about your cousin, that's exactly what we envisioned- resting, healing AND losing together we've enlisted a few folks to visit us. I love that we're all surgery date buddies!!!

      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.
