Jennifer U got a reaction from New To This23 in October 2023 surgery buddies
I’m home from the hospital! I planned on having my rny bypass but they couldn’t do it because of a lot of scar tissue from my c-section. I had a vsg instead. I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat, but staying awake to get some Water in me. No pain to speak of.

I went in on Monday for a bypass but had too much scar tissue so got vsg instead. I’m busy trying to figure out the differences because I had only researched bypass.

It’s scary for sure, but I’m focused on how I will look and feel afterwards and that’s better than pizza.

My one week pre-op diet starts Monday, and I'm starting to get scared. Not of the actual surgery, really. I mean, I can talk about how great the benefits of bariatric surgery will be and how mindful of my eating I will become, and I'm really thankful that I've come this far and that I am able to do it... but the reality is coming, where I'll be in it, and not just talking about it.
It seems like maybe the attachment to my old ways of eating is rearing up and trying to pull me back. Like hey, you do realize that you can't stop this train a month in, right? Can't say, oh this diet is too hard, forget it, I'm gonna go eat a pizza now. I mean, that's part of why I want this surgery, because of that restriction.
But it's scary, because ending diets is all I've ever known. Not to mention the dumping and hypoglycemia that seems will follow for the rest of my life. This is new territory here, and it's serious. I know I'm going to go through with it and that it'll be great, at some point. But now that it's finally here, I'm just freaking out a little 🙃

2 days of pre-op liquids and it’s going well. My one complaint is that all the liquids are sweet except for broth. How’s everyone doing?
