Hi everyone, my husband had GSV surgery 2 days ago - is it normal that he is sleeping so much? He gets up and walks a bit,, has some water and then needs to go lie down again. Constantly feels nauseous… is on 2 meds for nausea. I am a bit nervous for myself since I am scheduled for GSV surgery in October

I am also going back and forth on my decision. It’s a permanent surgery. But then each time I lose weight, I gain it back plus more. Been 10 years that my weight started going up due to a very stressful divorce, menopause and then losing my mom and the pandemic, so …. My surgeon said that weight gain is typically only 10%… that is reassuring. I keep picturing myself thinner again (just going for healthy weight - not ideal weight) and healthier and more energetic that seems to help me focus on the positive of the surgery.

I have. My surgeon said just to maintain my weight…. Sooo I haven’t changed my horrible diet. Still eat what I want because like you said, can’t have it the same after. Kind of nervous I won’t be able to have any of the things I like after… what if my stomach can’t tolerate it.

Hi, I’m scheduled for 18 Oct. My husband goes first on 20 Sep.
