Before I went for surgery some people had the same complaints. I thought it wouldn't happen to me, but after having this surgery I wasn't sure if I just totally messed my whole life up. The thing is life gets better and those doubts go away and you become very comfortable with the new lifestyle and new stomach. good luck to you.

Phenergan...as for it NOW! It'll help the nausea. There are a few things that could be causing it, the med will help. (Just hurts going in because it goes into a muscle, not your IV.)

Take anti-nausea meds and just drift in and out awhile. It will be easier each day! One day it will be a bad memory and you'll be happier and happier you did this!

I'm eight weeks out from surgery and have no regrets. I did have some anxiety before the surgery though. Try relaxing, breathing calmly and thinking positively about the future. This will be a step that will make you feel much better in the long run.

HUGS! The hospital part is some of the "not so fun part". I am 4 weeks out almost today! I feel great! I have lost 38 ish pounds since surgery. Trust me on this everyday I wake up with a SMILE! For years I dreaded getting on the scale....now I can't wait! I have more energy, am not so out of breath, clothes are getting looser everyday! I woke up in the hospital just like you and thought "what have I done?" Try to stay calm and think about how you are moving in the right direction. :) The first couple of days are hardest. Try to just take it minute by minute! Sip and walk. :) You are going to be proud of yourself really soon!

I had the same experience - the anxiety - 2 weeks ago when I had my sleeve. I've had those thoughts over the past 2 weeks now, on and off. You'll get tired of sipping and reflux and writing down what you eat and all the rest that comes with recuperation. But you're recuperating. I had to remember all the reasons I made the decision to do the surgery. Maybe that would help you, too. Nothing's worse than feeling sick in the hospital. If you keep a journal you might see in black and white how quickly you'll feel better.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
