I’m super tired. And my incisions are chafing against my clothes. But overall I’m doing well. It’s a blizzard outside so staying in bed isn’t so bad.

I’m feeling greasy. Not tired or anything. Just keep getting these gas bubble pains randomly in my diaphram. Anyone else? I had my surgery the 7th and don’t go back to work until the 22nd.

I’m glad you’re feeling well! That’s great. I have pressure in my chest but it’s getting better. I’m going to start wearing myself off of the painkillers tomorrow. My family has been eating in front of me so that sucks but I’m ok I go back on the 22nd too Glad I took enough time off so I’ll be well rested

I had my surgery on the 10th. Overall everything is going pretty good except I’m super tired. Anyone else exhausted?

I'm tired, but I think part of it is that I don't have anything to do but watch TV. I can't really leave the house with the blizzard outside, so sitting around is making me more tired than I am.

I was born in Newark 73 years ago, when it was Newark City Hospital, I was the longest baby on record, 25 inches long but I was only 7 pounds 12 oz. I must have looked like a mini- basketball player with red-gold curls all over my head. So it is a small world after all. My parents lived on 8th Street back when it was working class white. Still can find my way around town if need be.
So where are you having your RnY surgery? I had mine last September 5th at OSU in Columbus and I now live in Mount Vernon, but most of my Daddy's people are still in Licking County.
Hey don't be 😟 worried, you will be fine, and even if you have problems talk with me, I have broad shoulders and I love helping others. So smile, believe in yourself and you will do very good. I promise!!👈😝👉

You need more salt. I felt that way the first day and called my doc. Thought I was getting dehydrated. Told me I wasn’t getting enough salt. Recommended a coffee mug with hot Water with 3 bullion cubes in it dissolved. Said we need 3-4 grams of sodium each day otherwise body doesn’t hold on to water, messes with potassium etc. the next day first thing I did was drink a coffee mug full of 3 bullion cubes with a spoon and honesty have felt great everyday since. Lots of energy and no problems anymore :-)

Hi it is nice to meet you. I am originally from Gahanna but have lived in Licking county for 18 years. I am having my surgery at Ohio State with Dr. Needleman. I know he has been doing Gastric bypass for along time now so I hope it all goes well. One of my children was 22 inches long when I had him but that is no where close to 25 inches long.

      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.
