I may have already responded to this once, but oh well! I recommend air freshener. That gas has to come out.

That's because the only plumbing they wanted to fix was yours not the sinks.😛

My surgery is Tuesday and I haven’t packed yet... 😳😳😂

I think I’m bringing: some comfy clothes, phone charger, phone, deodorant, dry Shampoo, a fresh nose ring to shove in, chapstick, and maybe a hair band?

I’m only going to be in for ~2 days. Also, I only live about 9ish blocks from the hospital so I’m sure my partner or mother can bring me other stuff if I feel like I will die without it.

Ahhh yes! I’m not worried about taking the ring out... but I am worried about putting it back in after! The last time I changed nose jewelry, it was a painful, frustrating, 3 hour ordeal.

I’m also nervous about the hole closing up, because getting it pierced was so stupid painful that I’m not sure I could put myself through it again if it closed up! 😂

@insta adventurer I gave your post a laughing emjoi for a good reason. You reminded me I'll have my earrings out. I am triple pierced to honor my 3 children( 2 still living) I normally don't remove them, have the child- locking backs on them so I don't have to remove them for sleep or even shampooing my hair. In case I forget, I had better put a medicine. bottle with a locking top to put them into. And like you, even though I have had them for years it can be a BEAR to put them back in. And if they bloat me. with fluids and gas my earlobes might pudgyfy. Ah Pfooey something else trivial for me to stew about! 😛smiles and❤Love to you!!

Ahhh yes! Hopefully my tiny nose doesn’t bloat. I plan on bringing a little mirror in and some pliers so I can get that sucker back in ASAP.

I don’t understand why they will let me keep my wedding band on, but not a nose ring? A bit ridiculous if you ask me!

10 months out and I cannot live without a form of GAS X!!!!! Target brand is only 2.50$ a box instead of 8-10$ I was in the hospital for 2 nights from not being able to move and so much pain... I sadly didn’t pack much. Lip balm, socks, lotion. Anything else I was in too much pain to notice...

      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.
