Hey guys...Im home! I spent the night at the hospital after dry heaving severely for a while after surgery. I was so scared that I would slip the band! The doctors and nurses desided to just give me something to knock me out after numberous other meds were tried first. I was sooo scared! I feel sore today. I still feel gasy, but that will all work out in time. I walk a little bit....I never knew you used your stomach muscles for sooo much! I am hungry...not having anything since the night of the 3rd....but drinking is helping......liquids liquids liquids...Till Tuesday...Then I got to get my staples out and go back on the Protein Shakes. Well, I am gonna go....Thanks again all for the support. I am sure I will be back here venting soon! My husband is out in the kitchen looking for dinner, soo I supose my next need to vent is when I see him eatting something I can't have :) Just kiddin I will talk to you later!!!

Kathy...Yup anestesia did it to me! And again, right.....I am fine! I haven't touched the pain meds that were prescribed for me. I did whine a little bit about the staples, but I don't like having anything on my body that doesn't belong there. They itched really bad too! They come out on Tuesday sooo I think I will make it. I was able to take the bandaids off today and take a shower and that really made all the difference in the world! That and the fact that I have lost 21 pounds since the first day that I was weighed in at my doctors office!! I know! Unreal!!! I don't know how to change that ticker thingy on the signature line, but I want to make sure that these numbers are accurate before I go doing all that!! We will find out Tuesday!!

Talk to you all soon!

Wahooo! Well done, doll! Oh yeaaah, a hot shower is just the best! Especailly when you've been doing lots of sleeping, rsting , laying around, recovering.

Yuk, staples. I had steri-strips. You can bring those home from Mx and not have to return to have them removed! hehe. But the steri-strips worked great and I didn't get a rash. Just itchy as it all healed. 4 weeks out and I have what looks like cat-scratches.

Your'e doing great! Your'e Banded!!!!

      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. 🤞
