I had those same thoughts that you guys are having and was overwhelmed at times, I focused on the future to get me through and the reasons I was doing this in the first place. Yes it sucks that we got to this place but we have the oppprtunity to correct ourselves and to do something for ourselves that is truly wonderful.

As the guys have said do something nice now to cheer yourself up, I went to a spa the day before surgery and felt completely relaxed after it, even got myself a massage.

Now cheer up hold your head high and dont let this decision weigh you down. You got this and we're all here routing for you

Thank you Irish. Good words to hear.

Ok guys, surgery is done. Today has been ok overall, I’ve had a lot nausea and dry heaving (I have nothing in my system to throw up!!) every time I sit up or move. For me the worst part has been this insane pressure and tightness in my chest, they say it’s reflux but it’s so painful for me!!!!! When I sleep it goes away, so I’m heading to bed for the night at 6:35. Surgery itself was a breeze, I remember nothing.
One day at a time!!!! Here’s to the new me!

I'm doing fantastic! My surgery went perfectly, no problems at all. I stayed overnight and was released by 5pm Wednesday. They had me up and walking within 3 hours. I walked most of the time I was there. I had a bit of pain but nothing unbearable.

I'm feeling pretty great now. My program's plan has me on blendered foods already, which makes me happy. I've tolerated everything I've tried so far. I've been managing to get all of my Protein in no problem, Water has been a challenge but so far I'm getting the minimum. So far, so good!

I am excited for You! I wish you luck!

[Donnalong 15]

That's great! So happy for you! I've been reading a lot of posts about people being super nauseous and throwing up a lot after surgery. Wondering if that was normal for everyone or what!

I was only nauseous when I woke up the day after surgery but I had a lot of pain that morning and a throbbing headache. We attributed it to that because the phenergan in combo with the pain meds squashed that cold. I haven't been nauseous since. I am burping a LOT though and things sometimes feel stuck for a minute or two in my esophagus but nothing too terrible.

Well, that eases my mind. I'm on the clear liquid diet right now and I'm sticking to it strictly! So I hope that helps! Lol

Lying in bed, sleepy, medicated, tired, but ok. Woke up throwing up a few times, that is NO JOKE! Hopefully tomorrow will better.

Try to sniff some medical alcohol swabs, it helped me with the nausea, all the best

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry to hear some of you are having such a rough time especially Psyched. One of my biggest fears is throwing up. I hope they were able to give you something. I’m 4 days away I was totally fine now freaking out a bit. And VSG David u seemed like you were doing so well before...

At the bigening the ride is rough yeah no jocke, but to me, 5th day post op, feeling much better.. it's ok to be bit nervous but don't freak out [emoji1] it's all gonna pass.

I know I personally always wanted to see what the scars looked like after surgery. I am post op day 3 and this is what my scars look like.

Thanx for sharing, guess what? I had only 4 holes, they are as neat and clean as yours , feels like speedy healing ha [emoji6]
