Hi I'm 3 days post op and still very sore, each day it has got a little better but my advice would be to keep up the pain medicine, I was trying to be brave and not have the strong stuff last night and wish I had now, make sure haven't got a temperature with the pain in case it's an infection, we will get through this then we can Celebrate life!

So today, I had my VSG.
I'm sore, exhausted, but so excited.
I cheated on my pre op diet (little did I know, I could have eaten veggies!) so my surgeon was unsure whether or not she would be able to do the surgery this morning. Talk about being nervous and scared. But it was my own fault...
When I woke up in recovery, she said my liver was great! And the surgery was successful. I cried and high fived her and passed out again. I remember her saying I wouldn't remember that conversation, but I did! I had a small panic attack in the OR because it was so much going on, but they were all so sweet and made me feel so much more calm about the whole thing... and I woke up to heart shaped bandages over my 5 openings.
You guys. I did it. I really did it. I can't wait to see how much my body and my life change. It's always been so hard to enjoy life feeling the way I have, but now I'm so ready for this huge change.
I would love to see some pictures of post op people from various months just to get a feel for what that overall average is... as well as know what all have you tried since your weight loss. I'm going to start a bucket list
My stats are
HW: 267 (before pre op diet)
CW: 252
GW: 135-148 (for now)
Height: 5'6"

Well done and I hope everything goes well for you once your home !

Well done, I'm going in tomorrow !

My perseverance and dedication has paid off. I was sleeved yesterday and it's hard to believe. I lost 25 lbs during my pre op diet and was amazed. I can't wait to see what the future holds! Cheers to the skinny life ahead!
