How are you a nurse and smoke weed? Don't they drug test? I hope I don't get a nurse when I'm in the hospital who is high on weed.

"Thanks in advance for all the non Judgemental peeps!!" was at the end of my post. clearly you can't read, or maybe you just wanted a cookie, thanks but no thanks. bye.

I've never smoked, and I rarely drank (though for five years now I've had zero alcohol). I have nothing to offer except that it might be good to find some alternative behaviors that move you away from putting things in your mouth so you don't end up mindlessly eating. I wish you all the best.

I should join some other form of support then if that is the case. Thank you

thank you for all of the replies. I am feeling more confident and plan on moving forward with the surgery.

I had my surgery (vsg) on March 12 of this year. I had complications after surgery. I had a high fever and a high blood pressure after surgery. It only last a couple of days. With this said, I would get this surgery over and over again. This surgery gave a quality of life I didn't think I would have. Do not cancel your surgery. This surgery is worth it.

Very good perspective. There is not such thing as losing “only” a certain amount of weight. A loss is a loss and it’s better than where you came from.

Hi everyone, I have been sleeved and I truly can’t believe it! Recovery isn’t all that bad, just mostly nausea and a little pain with the incisions. Other then that, I’m so excited to start this journey!

June 27th and couldn’t be more excited!

You’re going to do great! It’s tough at first but trouble don’t last always. I’m 12 days post op and feeling good!

Awesome! I have to be honest after reading some of the blogs I started to double guess my decision… But I’m back on track. Thanks for the update wishing you a speedy recovery

Welp! At 9 days post op I’ve lost 17lbs. Pain wasn’t as much of a factor. The gas is way way worse and can last quite awhile. Walking and a heating pad got me through. Today is really the first day I’ve felt myself. It’s been very surreal for me. I’m just spending my time looking for good recipes to cook that my entire family can enjoy and watching YouTube. I’ve had 2 breakdowns. One was cause I was just tired of the gas pains. The second was faux concern from a quasi friend. I’m learning that this journey is all my own. Nothing is written in stone. And to take one day at a time because it WILL get better. Best of luck on Monday. And your fellow North Texans aren’t far for support.

Surgery was yesterday June 14th and I’m taking fluids right now and it’s horrible and feel so uncomfortable. I feel great until I drink or take a pain pill so now I’m on just Tylenol. I’ve been walking a lot because that makes me feel great. I wasn’t able to pass gas at the hospital until today I got into the car with my awful driving husband 😂😂😂lol. So that’s they plan when I stall at passing gas. Car ride around the corner 🚗 . I’m just so great full to have him take off and spend this journey with me from the beginning to the end. He did almost more than the nurses. Overall I have no regrets on day 2 let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Hi everybody!

Sleeved on 6/7 and all went well. The Hospital gave me my regular Depakote tablet and things did not go well. So I am taking the liquid version and it works like a charm. I would highly recommend it to anybody who takes Depakote... The pill is hard to swallow

June 7th! Woot! Woot! I’m ready. Happy for the rest of y’all too.

It’s going to go great! Gas pains are really the only painful part. Good luck! Can’t wait to see you on the sleeved side.

Heyyyyyy surgery twin! I’m so glad you’re doing great! That nausea was a beast those first few days. Yuck! I’m trying to get my liquids in too. I haven’t tried anything like the cream of wheat just cause I’m a chicken. But I couldn’t be happier with my decision. All the built up anxiety is finally gone. Again, I’m glad you’re doing great.

Hi. I am one week post op and similarly am handling liquids well. I had 8 oz Soup for dinner plus a half serving cream of wheat. So, yes. I think the trouble starts with solid food.

Everyone is different so never gauge yourself based on others. With that said, I’m 5 days post op and have lost 10.6lbs.
