Hi Everyone!,

Giving a big shout out from New Jersey. My husband was just banded on the 12th. I'm really exhausted from taking care of him and the kids. Just need to know from all you good folks (my pool of experts!) is it normal for someone post-op to feel really dizzy and hot. My husband does'nt have a fever but his arms are really hot the rest of him feels normal. No fever either. I want to call his doc but he does'nt also he needed to go to the bathroom but when he sat down he really got dizzy. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Let me know and blessings to you all you're really brave!:tongue2:

Hi.. I will not be banded until next week, but you should call the doctor for peace of mind. Men are a bit more "sensitive" and love to be "taken care of", if you get my drift. But, just in case, call the doctor. I have a hubby and several sons!! Experienced Mama. ChristyC

Jani, Hi from Louisiana. The dizziness might be after effects from anesthesia. Some people handle it better than others. You should def. check with your Dr., however. Also he hasn't eaten in a while that might account for some of the dizziness.

Hope all goes well.

Tara.

Thanks Louisiana, I thought so. He is being stubborn about eating(he's sick of my chicken broth) its hard cause he's smells me making dinner for the kids. Does this get better? I kinda dreading my own operation. Bless you for the advise. Jani

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
