I know exactly what you are going thru. I had Stricters and had 5Endoscopes with 4 Dialations. Which started around my 4 th week. I had probelems in Nov 2013, Dec 2013, Jan 2014 July 2114 with my last one on Jan 2015. I was exactly like you I couldn't hold even Water down. I took my sleeping pill and I was up all night throwing up. That morning I threw up that pill and it had never gone down at all. I also lost from 249 to 117#'s within 6 months!! The good thing is it is a easy fix. You take a sweet little nap and wake up it will be done. My Dr told me not to make any major decisions or sign anything for the 1st 24hours. LOL I did gain back 8#'s after I could eat and drink. But I still weigh 125#'s and have maintained that weight for 3 and 1/2 years. Take care of you!! Good Luck on your journey. Keep us posted.

Hey Nana! So sorrry you are going through this... I remember in beginning the Dr talking to me about the opening to the stomach opening in beginning is the size of tip of my little finger. He stressed that small bites, chewed to consistency of apple sauce. He said I'd I tried to eat larger bites it would not go down & I would throw up.

I felt the same way for almost 3 months nothing tasted good & I never felt like eating. I was told by my surgeon that it was normal for some people. Finally going into my 4 month everything starting working & I finally started feeling normal.

Good luck tomorrow I will be thinking of you!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
