Shelly I know how you feel, I was afraid of complications as well. I'm a believer, I prayed prayed prayed and left it I Gods hands. The last words I said as the Dr was putting me to sleep was , "God protect me" I had no complications and was back to work in 5! Days. I went shopping at costco on day 2! Praise Him!!

He did a great job charging His angels over you! [emoji4]

I'm just now able to drink without pain. Still
Can't drink a lot tho. I also had hiatal hernia surgery at the same time so maybe that's why.

I had an awesome surgeon that performed such a good job I didn't need a fairy tale "god" to help with me..
I went back to work two weeks later doing an extremely physical job and have had no issues.
Wasn't tired just a a little fatigued for a couple of days.

That's a rude statement. If you don't believe in God that's on you and your soul, but don't
Call God a fairy tale honey you may need him one day.

I took off six weeks. I was physically better after 4 weeks, but the fatigue remained an issue even for my first couple of weeks back to work.

Thanks all. I was scared said my prayers before I went to sleep and hope for the best three recovery and hope for zero complications. Doesn't matter how good the surgeon is you always have a chance of getting a leak.


Sending prayers your way. You'll do fine!

      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.
