Zoftig Girl you will like,a lot,of friends with an Oreo diet, I can't eat chocolate ones but,I used to like the ,lemon ones. If they could put them n in a bottle I might be right over. Shoot I'll even come if you have Premier Protein, on ice. I prefer peaches & cream if you're taking orders.

Ack, in pain this morning, not from my incisions but from my IV line! Forearm felt a bit sore in the early hours of the morning so I called a nurse to check that all was fine. She reassured me it was ok and I must have been laying/leaning on it awkwardly in my sleep. When I woke a few hours later at 7 though it was REALLY sore, and quite hard and swollen. During the night the IV to had moved out of the vein and was pumping fluids into my arm. Very ouchy.

They removed the line immediately and I went and has my shower. They are waiting on the anaesthetist to stop by late morning and put a replacement one in my other arm (since I'm not getting much Fluid in by mouth yet, I have to be really careful around swallowing tablets with a minimum of Water to prevent it coming up again. The endone they gave me about 30 minutes ago has at least reduced the pain for now.

Has pains are now minimal and I'm trying to walk a lot while I'm not stuck dragging my IV with me at the moment.

Blood pressure is recording a bit high overnight and this morning, but that may be because of IV issue.

Still not feeling hungry thankfully, but will work to get more water and Protein water in today.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to be sleeved on May 1st as my insurance chose to deny the day before. They want me to do another three months, noting that I have followed the program and lost weight prior. So it looks like I'll be in July/September.

Were u approved before that or they just denied u

Our family is getting sleeved May 24 at Bariatricpal MX. My husband, daughter and myself! My sister is getting sleeved the day before! I guess our family reunions will no longer be centered around food. We are looking forward to a healthy 2018,

Had my surgery may 2 and have to say its been a struggle. Had bad nausea and pain post op and then Migraine hit for last 24 hrs. If i can be rid of that I'll be happy. Tolerating thin fluids ok. Just having apple juice and broth really. 🤞home in morning. Missing my boys despite a visit each day. My 3 yr old starts pretend sneezing and saying he's sick when he's here as he wants to stay in with me.

Well it could be done in Sturgis, of course you might wake up,with a biker tattoo, the operating technicians would be a biker gang,
But Sioux Falls sounds like a credible location,and I m sure they will,do fine by you. I will have my surgery, a RnY at OSU.in Columbus Ohio, when- only God Knows

I think I’ll stick to Sioux Falls... although I have been considering a shoulder tat

      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.
