OK, Surgery was Yesterday...

OK night before really nervous very little sleep...BIG MISTAKE... Make sure you get plenty of rest the day before your Bandday... Surgery went well and The doc stated I did Great...Problem was after I got out of Surgery I was VERY VERY tired..Anthesia is slow but not getting sleep the night before I took longer to get awake fully.. Being that I have Sleep Apnea it took awhile beofe they let me go home... So for all you futute Bandsters sleep well the night before... Last night went well slept well. Took only one dose of pain medicine. Today different story been in alot more pain. Keep the Gas-X handy...Not hungry at all 2:00 PM est here and only ate one can of broth. Keep on Sipping the isopure.. I have found that if you will sweeten your Isopure (Stevia is great for this) it makes the drink not to bad... Keep it over ice and cool. Happy to be an April Bandster...I talked it over with my Dr. about Chewing Gum to help with the mental level of the chew factor... He stated that it was a great thing and will not cause air bubbles.. But most Dr tell you not to Chew for the risk of swallowing the Gum (That would be VERY VERY bad he said...All and All getting rest and trying to keep walking...Will keep you posted as progress begins more... Keep the faith Guys Bandday is better that birthdays...

I became a "bandit" on Tuesday. Went to mushies today. sleeping the night through has been difficult. I like to sleep on my side and that can't happen right now.

So, glad all went well for you.

Congratulations! and good luck! I am a stomach sleeper too and for the first 2 days I had to lay on my side not because of pain but I was so afraid I would move the port or something stupid like that... After a few days when the soreness wore off I went right back to tummy sleeping and had no problems. I still sleep this way and have no problems still...:wink2:

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

        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.

      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
