Yeah but it's $50 every time. I can think of plenty things I would rather spend that money on. And until I pay for it to be done,I can't wear it most of the time cause I don't want to risk losing it lol!

Hello Everyone! Happy Monday!

Hi Lee! I’m surprised to hear that they used mesh. You should ask him. It was explained to me they hadn’t offered the Sleeve with the mesh because it had a higher rate of complications. Can you see it on your surgery picture? I don’t see anything but a staple line on my pic. Doc Who told me they use something to prevent bleeding where the stomach is cut, maybe that’s what they’re talking about. Yesterday I had 1/3 cup of meatballs come back up. That’s all I ate and it was not even a full 1/3 cup. Spoke to Doc Who today and he said an occasional vomit is nothing to be concerned with. I’ve got plenty of energy, I feel good and not very hungry so in all I’m very happy. How are you?

Congrats Laurel!!! Welcome to the other side! Rest and relax!

      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.
