I actually had someone post me to ask which surgery was the least painful. All I have had is an RnY, so no basis of comparison. My guess is that it varies. There are some hardy souls--- they are off to the mall as soon as they are discharged. And at the other end are soul,s like me somewhat still dragging. But not really complaining, I knew at 72 it would not be a walk in the park, but i will still make it, I just am not going to set any land speed records.🐢

I have just read all 12 pages of this discussion and I must say it was quite entertaining. I can understand everything that everyone was saying and why everyone was saying it. First, when you reach out with what you think is a real question that has been asked a thousand times before and all you have to do is a simple search of the archives to see if it was asked before, it can be frustrating for the person giving the answers. If the question is better asked of the doctor’s office don’t be surprised if that’s who you are told to call.

Your post made me re-read the thread all the way through! Hilarious!

I just realized when re-reading the thread that one of my posts was removed. It was the one where I told you guys you needed to stop posting because I was laughing out loud at work. I have no idea what I may have said that was offensive. So, if anyone knows, I'd appreciate knowing where I stepped over a line.

No idea. I assumed it was clear that I was joking.

People who pound their agenda and perspective in our faces with a sledgehammer as if we are perfectly ignorant and uneducated and act as though we really "need" someone to be our conservators--as if their way is the ONLY way to truth.

Also people who either deliberately or in abject ignorance of the facts, edit the truth to fit their narrow view and misrepresent any opposing viewpoint.

And also those same people who are incapable of seeing they have any responsibility for how people perceive/react/treat them and accuse others of starting sh*t while they are innocent victims (a lamb to the slaughter).

:) That is all...wow! I feel more better, now! TY!!!

Quoting the LONGEST post, one you have to scroll forever to get to the end of it, then replying "Congrats" or "Good Job".

Like the original one wasn't long enough. And it's never just one person, at least 4 or more people do it in one thread.

      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.
