April vsG here !!!IM LEAVING SO NERVES AND SCARE IM 28 and a mom of 3 YOUNG KIDS IM SO AFRAID HELP!!i have days when I feel like canceling it I’m so scare what if things goes wrong hello
Don’t be too scared! You have help/a SO to help with the kids for a bit? I’ve had: ankle surgery, spine fusion, shoulder repair, sleeve, incisional hernia repair, gallbladder removed and I’m going to have bypass then my second shoulder repaired. The complication rates are low compared to other frequently performed surgeries. Follow your surgeon’s direction and chances of complication are slim. Don’t be afraid to tell the anesthesiologist/CRNA you’re anxious and they’ll give you some IV meds to calm you before going into the OR.

I"ve been having dreams about the surgery. I dreamt last night that the hospital had my address wrong and that the room was hot. What if I don't loose any weight after the surgery. Then I say to myself, Susie what would you prefer being healthy or high blood pressure, heart disease, joint pain, sleep apnea, diabetes and all the short comings of being overweight.

We will be ok, we just have to trust the process and our medical teams.

Hey y’all I’m new here.
Surgery date: April 1st
CW: 230
GW:150
I started my pre op liquid diet today and boy was I not mentally prepared for it but I think it went well except I had a rice pudding thinking it’d be ok until my nutritionist said nope. So I’m hoping tomorrow is better. They say the first 3 days are the hardest so we’ll see. Hopefully I’m not scaring anyone. Just sharing my experience 🤨🤨. Anyone else started liquid today? How was it? Any tips?

I'm a few days behind you - starting liquids on the 25th. Definitely dreading the first three days as well, and I'm glad I had a few days after getting back from a prescheduled Disney vacation (I was originally scheduled to go for surgery in December, but got derailed by insurance), the key is to have something external to focus upon.

Surgery: VSG

Surgery triplets!! @alchaley and @feelinghopefulnow
I’m excited and freaking out a little... lol just nerves though!
I’m ready to be past the first month! I’m not scared but just trying to get prepared. My dr only has me on a low fat before, not liquid only, so I’m happy about that. I’m ordering samples of different Protein Drinks and powders so I’ll have them on hand. I’ve also gotten a few groceries here and there that I’ll need for the mush phase. pudding, jellos, cream of wheat, tuna, etc.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
