Hey all. Just an update on first day back to work. I was tired. And came back to mass emails and stuff to do at work. Went to dinner with my bff and an out of town friend. The bff knows about surgery but the other doesn’t. Had a little smooth Tomato Soup and brought the rest home.

Definitely more tired than normal, but I did power through. I have already been to town a few times and walking in Target and such since 6/7.

Thank you! I guess I am scared of the pain I’ll wake up to and I don’t want to take to many pain killers (I’m recovered) so just a bunch of emotions thank you for being such a positive light for me

Good luck to all of you having surgery today and to those who have returned to work, stay strong; you have this. I had my surgery on 1st June and am still feeling pretty good; not in any pain, am driving and can move around easily. I commenced a pureed diet right out of surgery and it will be this way for a full month - its ok but would like some texture! Over the last coupe of days, the very thought of food has left me feeling nauseous as has some smells. I have been advised this is not uncommon for bypass patients. we're doing great xx

Hi June friends! I’m having RNY June 2nd. I had a lapband for about ten years and just had that removed a few weeks ago due to lack of success and negative side effects. Now I have no restriction, no side effects, and feel like I can’t stop eating, ugh! Surgery day can’t come soon enough.



Good luck to you all!

I too had a lap band for 18 years no success and many complications. New doc sent me to Bariatric surgeon, many tests, counseling and he said, let’s get the band out and do an RNY bypass. Wonderful doctors here in Temple Tx. Woke sore and in a bit of pain, but not horrible. The constant pain from the band was gone! I feel so much better.

      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.
