11:20am Wednesday (11th Oct) here (eastern Australia) right now.

21 hours from now, I'll be half-way through my gastric sleeve operation.

I'm 99% excitement and about 1% apprehension. I'm ready for this.

I have to be at the hospital about 6:20/6:30am to be prepped.

I can almost feel the joy of freer movement and comfortable access that will follow ... from imagining it to the reality ... a new chapter for me.

I've been wanting to come here sooner to provide a post surgery update but I guess it's better late than never lol. I'm officially one week post surgery. I get jealous when I hear stories about how little pain everyone was in after their surgery because I felt like I was donkey punched in my gut after surgery. I was literally yelling and squirming around on the bed after I awoke. Plus every time I had to get up to walk the pain on my right side was killing me. Needless to say I don't think the pain meds did me any good. I wanted something stronger but I guess they decided against it.

I have residual pain on my right side post surgery that still persist, especially if I move a certain way, but it has gotten better by each passing day. I can finally lay on my stomach, YAAY. Baby steps y'all.

I cosign everyone who says to bring gas X strips and a biotene mouth wash for post surgery recovery. I didn't really do much of anything else post surgery besides get on my phone.

I haven't gotten on a scale yet, I will wait until my 2 week visit with the Doctor to find out how much i have lost since the surgery but I do feel great. I was having some regrets at first but it's all about taking it slow and adjusting to the new stomach. Can't wait to share more of my journey with you all.

      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.
