This is my 3rd time going for the sleeve , I’ve mentioned this before! I was so afraid of dying during surgery the first two times . Yes that fear is still there of course but my want of a better life is more than this fear !!! Right now I’m concerned about my willpower! I eat fine during the day no cheating no over eating! But when I wake up in the middle of the night I go crazy for carbs and the worst food ☹️

Surgery is just a tool and won't help you with the head hunger or choosing wrong foods to eat or night eating. Have you thought about going to the group therapy classes offered by your surgeon's office? The head hunger is more of a battle than physical hunger.

Yes the last time I tried for surgery I did the group therapy and it was wonderful and I plan and going again

I am scheduled for my VSG on Monday, 6/17.

Ashley, how are you feeling lovely? Did everything go good?!

I’m feeling less than stellar. The gas pains and pressure are awful. But happy to be on this side of it all!

I'm sorry the gas pains are showing their ugly faces what all did they have you do after you showed up to admissions?

I was pre-registered, so I literally showed up to the surgery waiting room and went back to get prepped 30 min later!

Today is actually worse for me. Didn’t get to go home. I’ve been walking constantly and still feel the most bloated I’ve ever felt. I have been sipping my fluids and tonight tried some protein and the shake feels like it is stuck in my stomach. Still full two hours later and only got 6 ounces in. Here’s to trying to stay positive and feeling better tomorrow!

I'm sure in a few months this will just be a blip on the radar compared to how great you are going to feel :)

That’s my hope! I can do this!

@ Alma Dere my surgery is Thursday. My PMS cravings are making me anxious too. Have you had the surgery yet? If so how did you deal with the cravings.

I’ve been praying for you all who having surgery this week ??? I hope you feel better

My consultation was canceled today I’m pretty bummed out !!! I can’t drive and medical transportation didn’t get there paper work together in time ?? so now I have to wait another month ☹️

Oh no- please say it isn't so! It v had seemed like everything was falling into place for you, and now put off to July?It just is NOT RIGHT!

I wasn’t worried during the whole three year process of trying to get it done. A week before my surgery I lost my mind and was all of a sudden scared that I might die in surgery(literally hit me like a brick wall). My mom(who also had gastric bypass had the same dr as me) told me it’s like taking a bandaid off for them. I even looked up the chances of death(I thought it was stupid of me but it oddly made me feel better) and you have a higher chance of dying from gallbladder or hip surgery. I was so scared I even watched a video of the surgery being performed to see what might go wrong. My mom said I was crazy but they did it with ease and it made me feel better ?

Oh no I just read it got pushed back! I am so sorry they did that to me three times and each time I was super devastated. Don’t worry keep your head up! You’ll be going in for surgery before you know it.
