Hey guys! New to this website! Having my surgery in a few weeks in MX and a little nervous.

Hi purpleandgold. Where are you? what surgery are you having? What are your plans for the rest of your life? No just kidding but do tell us a bit about yourself.

I'm 7 weeks out and 55lbs down from the start of the journey(25 pre surgery/the rest post) and live in Kentucky.

Congratulations! Hope it goes well. Read on around. Maybe we can help you. Its normal to be nervous but you'll be happy with results.

Thank y'all! And wow 55lbs, 7 weeks out is INCREDIBLE! Great job!

I am having the VSG done. Going alone to Mexico so that is a little nerve racking. My coordinator has been so helpful so that has definitely helped me a lot.

I am from Louisiana. My plans after surgery are to have more energy to do more fun things with my kids....I have a 1 year-old and a 7 year-old.

I also REALLY want to become runner. It's so hard for me to run at 244lbs and I just can't wait for that to change.

How were things post-op for y'all...when did the pain subside?

Thanks but like I said I was on a 30 day liquid diet pre op. I have a long way to go. Everybody's different. I don't usually have a high tolerance for pain but I stopped taking pain meds 1st night because they were making me dry heave bad. But I felt like crap from week 2 till 5. Not any incision pain but migraine type headache, nausea, slept alot. But others are in more pain and bounce back in a week. Just drink your water and protein.
