Had my surgery this morning and I'm now resting at home. Feeling really good. I have a heating pad on my back to see if it'll assist in the gas pain. But it's not a big deal.
And my surgeon commented on how nice and small my liver was. [emoji23]

Ditto to the above- I alas am still in the minor leagues, on the When Is It Ever Going to Happen team, waiting my call up to the Big Leagues of Bariatric Surgery. Packing my duffle bag of goodies, lining up Protein Shakes on my pantry shelf, yes the very-same shelf where the cookie packages, chips, pretzels and chips(crisps to my Commonwealth cousins() and bottl3s of soda used to set. There is one dusty package of Cheezits at,one end, still unopened.
Attention Bariatric Team Managers aka Surgeons, please call,or text me, my info is on that 15 foot sign in my front yard with the floodlight shining on it. I got a rebate from American Electric Power for the extra power,reminded them with lower grocery bills I can pay them more promptly.😆And somebody said I don't plan ahead?

Maybe it's just the meds talking here, but I feel great. No pain. I can sleep on either side. I'm tolerating liquids just fine. Walking around the house to get moving. The anti-nasea meds make my very very sleepy so I'm reasting and NOT overdoing, but I feel like I could face the real world today if I needed to.

      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
