I left hospital around 9pm my surgery was around noon. I had trouble with pain but wanted desperately to go home and just go to bed I completely underestimated how much pain j would be in I watched all these videos of people who were like day 1 post op feeling great ran 3 miles lol and I just felt so terrible and defeated. Feeling much much much better now my dr was dr long @@MeMe8264

Hello all! I had surgery on Tuesdag. The last few days I'm not going to lie they have been rough! I am just today feeling semi normal and able to sip large quantities of Water and Protein. I hope tomorrow is even better. I definitely under estimated how much pain I would be in but def don't regret it

I finally emailed Silvia today and told her I hadn't been contacted could she please look into it because it's been over a week. She responded and said I let her know. Short and sweet Silvia (not) then Lisa emailed me and said she jUST received orders to contact me from Silvia today. So that's frustrating but I'm set for October 6!

I am using Dr Long I had my consult with him and met him and he was really great. I fortunately have a good friend who lives in TX and is going to take care of me for the 2 weeks post op so I don't know anything about hotel discounts. Where are you traveling from?

I just wanna say when I say "harass" I mean I just send friendly reminders lol definitely all sugar here- I work at a bank and have been the victim of people using vinegar too many time lol

I am with nicholson clinic still waiting for a date .... Tick tock tick tock. Hopefully next week will be the week

Well that's awesome. Not to burst your bubble Silvia told me the same a week and a half ago! Lol I called today so hopefully she returns my call soon! Maybe we will be having surgery about the same time!

@@Meme ok I can't wait to wear those high boots with jeans and boot socks! I love those. I want to wear maxi dresses! I Have a whole Pinterest board of clothes I want to wear

Yes put me down for the coma also. I can't be trusted with food!!! Lol I think once I get a date I'll be ok but not knowing makes me wander why I'm torturing myself

I'm calling tomorrow too! It's been a week since the lady told me she was ready to schedule me. I don't want to pester them but I'm on pins and needles

Not yet I have my nutrition appt on Thursday so hopefully something soon!

I haven't had my surgery, or even the insurance approval yet, but I do know that you're not alone! If you can't talk to the people in your life, you always have this great group of people that are here. See you can still have that pity party, only in a smaller dress size!

Out of all my fears- going under the knife, the fear it won't "work" for me, the fear I will digress and gain the weight back - can I just tell you one of my biggest fears?
I KNOW there will be a day in the beginning, maybe even several, when I think to myself "what have I done?", or perhaps I will have a pity party because a friend is doing or participating in something that I can't. Or maybe I will just MISS food. And I can't say a word to anyone for fear of the "I told you so's" ...
And maybe the people in my life won't say I told you so, maybe they will give me a blank stare. Or they just won't even want to hear it because I put myself in this position. and so I won't express it. I will just hold it in. and I will get no support. I am afraid that every one around me is secretly waiting for me to fail. Which in my head that should totally be a reason to knock it out of the park right? But how long can one bob and weave the criticism before it messes with your head.
The awkward part is, when I expressed this to my cousin she said I don't think any one would say I told you so, Hilary. But I think since you have a fear that they would, you will hold it all in and seclude yourself.
Does anyone have a similar fear? That people are waiting for you to fail so they can be right that this was the wrong choice for you. Even if they don't say it out loud? The fear of being unable to express myself or having no body to talk to just kind of eats away at me. Like can I really do this?
how many of you have had the "What Have I Done Day?"
