How long did everyone that has already had surgery have to wait to be cleared to drive?

My team say 10 days for a short (under 30 minute) drive. Three weeks AND over the fatigue for an hour or more.

Hi everyone, I'm new on here and wishing I'd found it before my RNY surgery on 12/18. I wish I was feeling as successful as some of yall. I feel like I'm struggling to get in my Protein and fluids daily. I'm still really sore internally and struggling with motivation to get up and around because I hurt so bad. The number on the scale is dropping...I've lost 19 pounds since I started my pre op diet on 12/11...but I'm just feeling miserable and having a hard time fighting off the feelings of deep regret.

Stay focused and trust the process. I was one that fortunately had no issues and is feeling a million bucks. The Fluid intake takes time but will get better everyday. I also had my surgery on 12/18. This support group has been the key factor for my sanity during the Pre-Op process. Since surgery I have lost 24 pounds in 1 week. 53 pounds since October. Just continue to take it one day at a time and trust the process. We are all here to lean on. We got you!!!

I also had my surgery on 12/18, I have very little pain and I lost 24 pounds. Im barely hungry during the whole day. I get up and have about half small cup of Jello, then broth in the afternoon. and for the rest of the day I have my Protein Shake. I was also having doubt about 3-4 days after getting out of the hospital. But now I'm sure I did the right thing. i can't wait until the next phase in 2 weeks when I can start eating something else.

Congrats. You are doing well. I have been doing well also. I do have hunger and I wished I didn't. I hope it goes away.

Tomorrow is surgery day, I started Clear Liquids today and had to drink laxative. So not fun! I'm so anxious! God help me! I'll be glad when surgery is over so I can stop worrying about it!

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

        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
