Welcome! These message boards can be a great resource - good luck on your journey!

I have received news that my insurance will cover surgery! I have struggled with my weight all my life and more so once I was no longer an athlete due to injuries. I am so very excited to start this journey and take back control, but I am nervous and scared at the same time. I am seeing my surgeon on April 4th for my first consultation!

So sorry for you. I can only imagine how upset you are right now. Hopefully knowing that the doctors have put your health as a priority makes it slightly if at all better. Stay positive and good will come your way!!!

You have every right to be nervous. This is a major surgery and a lifetime commitment. you. It will be very difficult at times, but when the weight starts falling off, you will feel like you are on top of the world. Then you will experience things like taste changes and it will be frustrating. I have never lost my appetite like they told me. The most difficult part for me is eating slow and not drinking at the same time. I keep a picture of my fat body on my fridge and in my wallet and when I get discouraged, I just look at the picture and it is all worth it. You will do just fine and you will get over it. The time does go pretty quickly.
I wish you so much success in your new journey and remember it really is a major and lifetime commitment.

They knock you out before they put it in, and take it out before you wake up. I never saw or felt it. The only thing the did pre-op was start my IV.

I had similar issue. It was closer to the middle above my belly button. It was like a sharp stabbing pain. As long as I was sitting or laying I was fine. My dr told me it was from the internal stitches pulling with movement. He also said some people have this issue and some don't. I ended up getting a belly compression band to kind of hold everything in place and within a few days the pain was completely gone

First day pre op, OMG!!!!!

May your surgery go smooth and well. Blessings on your journey!

Heyyy Heyyy....It's been a loooong time coming but, I'm glad and appreciative for being at this point. I'm ready to evolve in everything I do from this point on. I'm going to LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE! Good luck to all March sleevers. Let's do this!

my hubby is understanding and helps out

while saving energy for my Protein bar!
many people recover WLS and are walking in the mall right
after surgery. they might have had in and out surgery
other people take 2-3 weeks to get their strength back!!
continued good luck

March 27 for me

It is basically impossible for you to feel physically hungry because the nerves have been cut. So you either have acid issues or you have head hunger.

Either way consult your team.

You shouldn't have physical hunger after surgery so pills shouldn't be needed. Any doctor that is advising you use them post-op, I would be very cautious of.
