She called me a few minutes ago. I had t laugh cause I guess I sounded the same way on Monday!

She wanted me to tell you all that everything went well. She's a little nervous about the night staff at CMC, they haven't been as attentive as the day shift. I told her to call her daughter, who had just left, and get her to get on there backs. So hopefully she will.

So thats it for now. Have a good night.

Hi,

I spoke with her yesterday afternoon. She was frustrated they turned her morphine off in the middle of the night! Go figure! She wanted to leave but she had to wait to finish eating and then go to the BR. So I'm not sure if she's home yet or not.

I'm hanging in there, but exhausted! Yesterday I really pushed myself and today I can't eep my eyes open. We have caompany that came in yesterday and they are great. I went to grocery store with my daughter and then we went to someones house for "dinner" last night. Now I'm home alone for a few hours and going back to bed. I really think I pushed it to much yesterday, although I thought I'd be up and running by now :(

My only real complaint is the iching of the large insision. Should I put some ointment on it? I think I know why I stayed 2 nights. Most everyone I've heard has only had 5 insisions I have 6 there was alot of scar tissue from my gall blatter surgery mad it tougher on the doc and I guess tougher on me.

night night...

Hello Ladies, I back. All is well, I feel a little sore and sleepy after I take my medication. I was released around 7 pm yesterday. Overall, a good experience with the exception of the night staff. Once my daughter called and spoke with someone, they were acting like they were very attentive.(they said in error my meds were cut off.) sure. The next day was a good day. The Bararum test went well. Didn't get to see Dr. V. - was wondering if he was allowed to see me in the hospital. Dianne glad to hear you're doing okay too. Talk to you guys later.

Welcome home Starr and congratulations!

You and Dianne seem to be doing great!

Melissa, you're next :)

I hope/pray to have a date by time we meet again. I can be patient when I know there's an end in sight. Not knowing if/when that end will come causes anxiety!

        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
