  1. It is absolutely normal to be scared! I was so nervous the day before i didnt sleep at all! The first few days are rough and you will find yourself wondering why you did this but this will pass and one month down the road you will know you made the right choice once the scale starts on a downward spiral!!! im 6 months out and have lost a 100 pounds and would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat!! Good luck on your journey!!! you will be great!
  2. i think the hardest part and most unexpected part was the constipation! sorry if tmi lol!! i became really irregular after about 2 months and struggled with this for about 3 months, glad to say i am better now but you would think less food less problems in that area. i am now 6 months out and have lost 96 pounds so i would definitely do it again in a hearbeat!! Good luck on your journey!!!

    How many weeks to request off

    I was out for a week and was completely fine with the exception of being tired! With a physical job I would shoot for three weeks as you will want to nap half the day and get tired easily better to have extra time than not enough! Good luck

    Cheated on the preop diet

    It will get better!! You need to keep this mentality; I am almost 10 weeks out and still have bad days but I don't regret my decision one bit! Keep the faith sweetie!!
  8. I just need to know when the tiredness will go away!!! I still need a nap almost every day, I was told this was normal for up to 8 weeks after. I'm currently 9 weeks out and wondering where my energy is!! On the bright side I have lost 64 lbs since I started right at 3 months ago!! But one would think with that much weight gone I would be up running around!! Please share your thoughts and experiences!!!

      I don't know howfar out you are but...just think about this...you have had major surgery, your body is running on less fuel. Of course you will get tired. Just take youre naps and let yourself heal. It will get better for sure. Good Luck

    UnitedHealth care insurance

    United health care only pays if your employer elects to carry the coverage, unfortunately mine did not so I was self pay!! May want to consider back up options! Good luck!!

    FEELING THE PRESSURE

    I am 6 days post op And it is really hard to give advice as every surgeon's requirements are different. I did a 3 week optifast diet which consisted of 800 calories and included shakes soups and protein bars. It was actually pretty tasty and easy but a little costly!! Good luck on your journey ?
  12. Hello! I am 5 days post-op and it is for sure a roller coaster! I'm still experiencing gas pains in my chest ugggh terrible!! Once this clears I will be 100% better! Good luck on your journey!
