I'm sitting here in the hospital getting prepped for VSG and I'm feeling weirdly nervous and a little scared..

Thanks for sharing the news of your awesome weight loss! I will be working pretty hard to have similar success. I'm so thankful that I'm not dealing with a lot of pain. I know we can all do this!

How was it? I hope you are doing well '

Hey caddygirl!

The surgery itself was fine. I didn't feel a thing. The small incisions are just a little sore but very tolerable. I'm feeling pretty good.

I had the surgery Wednesday, I came home Thursday, and today I've been resting but I've also got up and went for a couple of walks.

The only tough part has been trying to get all the required Protein in. However, I haven't been hungry at all.

Also, I can't say enough about how thankful I am that I'm not in any pain. I was given some liquid hydrocodone for pain but I haven't really needed it, thankfully!

In the past, I had been so afraid of this surgery, now like so many others I wish I had the procedure sooner, but I'm happy I finally got it done.

I'm feeling very blessed to have so much support as well. Thanks to everyone for your positive thoughts and well wishes!

We can definitely all do this!

Just had mine 10 hrs ago. Had to wait 4 hr in the pre op room. I almost left but so glad I didn't. You can do it!

Wow! I'm so happy you to hear that you didn't back out. I was seriously thinking about doing the same, the morning of my surgery. However, I'm so happy I went through with the surgery. My pain has been almost non-existent, just a little uncomfortable pressure at my incision sites. Good luck with your recovery. You're absolutely right, we can both do this!

Pray that you have a speedy comfortable recover!
