If it makes you feel any better, I think the more weight you have to lose, the quicker it comes off...with you having not too much to lose, it might take a bit longer. ((hug))

How are you feeling? feeling pretty good. Still have some wond issues from a large hematoma from my blood thinners. I can eat just about anything. I'm thinking about not getting a fill if I continue to lose and feel full like I do now. Not ddue for a fill until last of May so we will see if my satiety holds.

This is the best thing I have ever done.

How Am I Feeling? I have been having a rough time adjusting to life with the band. I have not experienced more energy yet but I'm looking forward to that day. I have been having a lot of chest/abdominal pain from gas (I think). I just bought some GasX today and I'm hoping that will help.

      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.

      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.
