Who's having surgery in march



Recommended Posts

I had mine 3/6. For the most part I feel great. I had a bit of gas that the gas x strips helped tremendously. My main issue now is a terrible burning sensation in my muscles on my left side when I stand, sit and walk. If I lay down or recline it completely goes away. I've lost 18 pounds since morning of surgery! Excited to see my progress as time goes on!!

Had mine on the 7th. Came home yesterday, gas pains are really bad!!!!



Walk walk walk, first day is really bad, you will feel better every day. My second day they gave me chewable gas pills, worked like a charm, but walking helps your gas tl go away. By the third day, you will feel great. Good luck

Surgery buddy! I have the same day and same pain! I tried to go to work this morning but I got so nauseous and the pain on my left side is like daggers. When do you go back to work? I've lost 9 since morning of surgery!

My left side hurt terribly but walking helps a lot. We can't move too fast. We are newbies. I'm trying to figure out drinking and eating enough hello. My favorite chicken noodle broth taste blah to me now I'm going to drink Protein Drinks I got from metabolic weight loss. Its like crystal lite but Protein. U can now buy from them without a membership. They got some in store called lift waters they are nasty. Do anyone live in shreveport la.

6 days until surgery, and I have a cold. Scared they'll say we'll have to postpone if I don't get well enough.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
