Hi guys, I am back online. :)

I did pretty well with the surgery, still sore and sleepy though. I am having a harder time recovering from the anesthesia than from the incisions. Anesthesia doesn't mix well with me. I had some gas pains Friday night and had to sleep sitting up, but they went away pretty quickly and I was in bed last night. Biggest gripe is this awful sinus headache...if I could just shake that I would be golden.

Glad its over!!

Well I did it!!!

I was the first patient of the morning, and my husband was told 25min later that my surgery went great. They released me from the hospital 3 and 1/2 hrs. after my surgery in a anesthetic stupor. I slept the rest of the day and flew home at 2pm the next day.

I felt good except for some pain at my incision sites, and some pain trying to sit up or lie down,and laughing was painful (my husband is really funny which didn't help) but other then that its not as bad as I thought it was goimg to be.

I hope everyones surgery went great and you all have a speedy recovery!!!! :)

I just got back from spending 3 days with the whole fam for Thanksgiving holiday. I didn't cheat at all, but the food smells did get to me from time to time. Last night they went and got Wendy's...normally something I can pass on...but it made me very hungry smelling it all. Especially the hamburgers.

      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.
