Good luck to everyone having surgery today! If I were smart, I would have done it after Christmas as well... but, thinking like that is what got me this way in the first place! [emoji38]

How neat that you are so far away yet still able to communicate with us. Yeah the sleeve is the same regardless of where you are. But glad to hear you are doing good. It gets better on down the road so I'm looking forward to that.

I was dec 5 as well.... since surgery I have lost 21 lbs. I have some tough Patches but doing okay. How have you been?

December 5th I would love to join :)

I've been doing Owkay. I'm from Mozambique, but currently studying and was sleeved in South Africa (Cape Town).

So the set of Vitamins that mostly people talk about here are totally different this side but the experience is the same at the end of the day,and that is why I joined this forum although I'm from the other side of the world :)

I was too, and honestly, when I finally woke up I thought to myself, what have I done? But it's been almost 4 weeks.... best decision ever!!

You will do just fine Christina, I was sacred and nervous too!!!! But I've had other surgeries before, and this was by far the easiest time I had. Just be sure to get up and walk as soon as you can after and continue moving around, so the gas doesn't settle, that's so uncomfortable !!!! My son (who is an RN at the hospital where I had my surgery) had me up and walking hours after. The worst pain I felt, was like I was kicked in the stomach or like I had done tons of crunches, but that was it, nothing major!!!

Hey everyone!!! I just had my bypass on the 22nd...although I was SUPER scared the worst of it for me was recovery (night of surgery) next morning was tolerable with some soreness! But I'm a week out and I feel AMAZING! (other than this horrible liquid diet ????)

      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.
