I am doing so much better today. I was able to eat two saltine crackers (to liquid consistency) and I got 45 oz of Fluid in yesterday plus all of my medications. So I'm pretty proud of myself. It's rainy here today so I'm going to go walk around the mall and try to feel normal for a bit. Only weird thing is I feel so weak, but I attribute that to lack of food. Pain is being managed with 1000MG of tylenol. I've lost 7 pounds since surgery.

My surgery date was changed from 10/10 to 10/24. Still an October Sleever!

I was supposed to have surgery October 10th, but hit an insurance snag. Problem was, I retired from my job and had to "change over" to the Retired side of the house and part of the normal computer processing is to cancel the insurance before the Retiree insurance kicks in - usually takes 2 weeks. Of course, luck of the Irish, my surgery was scheduled during that two week transition period. Ugh. Only me.

On Oct 12, my new insurance kicked in and back dated to Oct 1. So I called my Surgeon's office and they said to send over the new insurance cards and the surgery will be re scheduled....so just a minor delay. The nice insurance lady at the Surgeon's office called me today {Oct 13) and the new date is Oct 24!!

I was sleeved on 10/10 and got home last night. I had a problem with oxygen when I walked. So they sent me home with some for walking and some oxycodone So for so good. My dr had a wishbone showering my stomach on the inside and it was empty this morning so I just pulled it out. No pain yet. Feeling great.

I had my surgery 10/11 and got to come home today. The first day post op was pretty painful for me with terrible gas pains. Once I got up and was walking more and they change my pain meds it was a whole different ball game though. I went from terrible gas pains to just minor tightness in my stomach and was able to walk around freely. I came home earlier today and ended up sleeping for probably the first 8 hours I was home. I guess my body needed to catch up on all the sleep I couldn’t get in the hospital due to constantly being woken up for one reason or another. All in all the process has not been too bad and I have zero regrets. Now I just need to concentrate on sipping Water all day and getting my food intake up a little. My surgeon did say for the first week though that his number one priority is the Fluid intake and that the eating will progress as time goes on.

So glad that your surgery went well. Drink your fluids and get lots of rest. Look forward to your updates!

      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
