Map,

Honey, you and your son are in my prayers.

Here is a link to my story. It may or may not be similar; I don't have enough details about your son to know. It's post #19

I was in the hospital for two weeks and ran a fever for a good portion of that time.

I will PM you my contact info. Please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions.

((((Hugs))))

Elaine,

My son is not septic it's not in his blood, but I am very afraid that the infection may have spread to somewhere else, because in between his high fever, he was sort of yellow,yet his doctor said we were wrong.

Thanks again for caring, xxxxxx

ooooo

Hi,

I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I am thinking of you. I am in Sydney Australia and probably can't help this far away, but wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers.

Jen

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
