I'm going to be a senior in high school this year. I will be 5 weeks and 4 days post op when school starts, I was realllllly excited to go back, now I'm nervous to go back. I'm going to be telling my schools nurse about it(very good idea) if she's there tomorrow and I need to find out who my gym teacher will be (cause they forgot to give me a gym period) so I can tell him/her about it and hopefully they don't tell the other teachers, should I tell the principle too? Anyways my biggest fear about going back is getting sick, like nausea sick anywhere during the school say even on the bus. And I worry about not getting enough sleep, I don't get enough now it's like I can't get to bed at normal hour. But yeah my biggest is getting sick and missing a lot of school. Ugh it deffinately not how I planned my last year. I worry the worst when I'm not feeling well and that Is like now. I have a headache and I'm tired and I have a nasty taste in my mouth from reflux I supposed and I hope to get whatever fill I have in, out, some people said they had reflux and their band was too tight and needed a unfill and I have that band that has a fill in it during surgery and they felt better after. Dang I forgot my though ugh! Hate when that happens

I know you guys told me I worry too much but that's just me ok ok so I wake up this morn and where my band is it kind of sore, could it be from tossing and turning all night?

so I feel fine other than feeling like I've been punched in my stomach and the reflux or whatever that is, like I said, hopefully my dr could take the fill out, maybe I'm the kind of person who can't handle the fill and maybe I'll feel better (fill was in since surgery) and maybe that's why I've been nauseated, BINGO! Right?

I honestly dont think u need to tell your school about ur band. The only person that would know would be the nurse and Im sure she will have that on file along with your medical history..And Im sure ur doctor can write up a note to ur gym teacher to let him or her know that u cannot do certain activites until a certain period of time

I told my councelor, well my mom did, and I was going to tell the nurse but they were gone for lunch I guess and I didn't want to wait an hour for her to get back and yup I'm getting a note from my surgeron on September 2nd. By the way, does anyone know what a narrowing is?

why don't you just tell your school nurse and privacy laws will not allow her to tell anyone else unless you want her too

if is of no business to anyone else

Hi Erin,

If you are eating lunch in school with your friends, Please remember to eat slow, small bites and chew, chew, chew so you don't have any problems with getting stuck or PB'ing. I know when I am eating with friends and we get caught up in conversations or just a b***h session I sometimes have to remind myself!!

Good luck girly girl...Remember relax and enjoy the new you!

G'ma

I don't have a lunch period so I'm gonna have to talk to my 6th period teacher if I can have my lunch then or just bring something simple to bring on my way to cosmetology

I'll deffinately make sure I chew very well, having a PB in school would suck and be embarrassing

I will it's just right now, I feel like total crap nobody isnt answering my other thread about what a narrowing is cause I might have one and it might need to be stretched ugh

        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
