Surgery a week out and having second thoughts.



Recommended Posts

Bgold I am 29 and have just started the process. My health overall is good aside from PCOS. I am wanting to do this now to avoid any health issues the older I get. My doctor told me it won't be easy but it will be worth it and its better to do something than nothing at all. I hope this helps :)

I’m in a similar boat as I’m also young. I’m F24 and 274. I’m scheduled for a vsg on the 25th but I kept having doubts. My decision was solidified for me when I was denied the loan I was pre-approved for (I’m self-pay). I spent 3 days thinking that I couldn’t get it and I re-discovered all the reasons I want/need it. Luckily I found another loan but it was a scary few days lol. I think the vsg isn’t supposed to have as many long term effects as the ds or the bypass. And like someone else said on here the most common regret I’ve seen is people wishing they’d done it years earlier

Hello,

one week out from vsg and having severe cold feet. Worried about the future and long term complications as I’m young M27. Starting weight 377

How is everyone doing. Any tips?

I’m worried about regret.

I just had mine on 2.23 and I'm doing good. Not gonna lie its not easy. I am on tic toc @taraweightloss2021 I show everything even my stomach. The liquid part is trying but getting easier. I have never been so excited about eating mashed potatoes on Tuesday

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
