Good Luck to you all! I had my surgery 08-04-09 and remember being exactly where you guys are now."FREAKED OUT". I had to be there at 5A.M. I was sooooo nervous but had come too far to turn around. I had been wanting this for 2 years no matter how afraid I was. I am glad I went through with it. I have no regrets. I was a little stiff the first couple of days with very little pain. I only took tylenol a few times. You'll be fine and the susrgery will be a breeze

Cindy & CrazyChica - How are you guys feeling?

I slept most of the day yesterday (I was outpatient, came home in a few hours). Woke up today, my belly is pretty sore, but I just took more liquid vicodin & am hoping it kicks in quickly. I am a wuss about pain!

It hurts when I cough!

But it's all good.

Hope you all recovery quickly

Hey i've actually been pretty good! less and less sore each day which is great and i'm just getting itchy where the bandage is!!! i'm too nervous to take the cotton ball out since I had the SILS in my belly button. I'm so happy i didn't have 5 incisions because I think I would be a lot more sore if it weren't for the single incision. But overall good, just some back pains from sleeping on my back:cursing: and that hurts more than the soreness from the surgery! How are u guys feeling today?

      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.
