Looking at October 2022 for my surgery (vsg)

anyone else around that time ???

I am already making a lot of dietary changes and want to do a “trial run” of some of the presurgical dietary requirements so that my brain and food issues don’t sabotage my success when it comes down to go time.

Soo…. Roll call for October ??

Tomorrow is my surgery day! I can't sleep I'm so nervous.

Scared but excited.

Same! I anxiously cried myself to sleep for a few hours last night. It's now 6:45am and I'm headed to take my last Hibiclens shower. I gave up on trying to sleep more and figured I'd be sleeping all day post-op anyway. I have to be at the hospital at 11 and surgery time is at 1:20.

Wishing you a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery!! ?

Ok, so it's normal? Good luck to you! I have to be at the hospital at 7am. It's a little after 5. I've slept about 3 hours I'm tired but more nervous. So many things are running through my head.

I hope that you are doing well. I know we will both get through this and come out the other side better than ever.

Scared but excited.

Surgery is running late, but just met with my surgeon and feeling much better. Now we wait! God speed

You are glowing wishing you all the best.

Hello! I just got my surgery date for October 31st! Finally! I"m terrified and thrilled!

we are almost half way through the month which means almost half way through all of use

today sucks. this very much is a mind game. i was fine all week last week with my protien going down but today i just dont want anything except plain water.

oh and 8 days post opp and my wedding ring fell off. lol

Day 5 post op. Feeling pretty good overall. Forgot to take any pain meds before bed last night but slept through and woke up pain free. I'm able to eat thinned out veg soups & yoghurt up to about 1/2 cups worth. I think the dog might get a small walk today- she'll be very excited!

Yay!!! Congratulations!!!

I'm 8 hours post-op. I also had my gallbladder removed so I'm feeling pretty rough right now. The gas pains are real and I unfortunately am one of the ones plauged by big time nausea. Only was able to walk around once and so far have managed to sip 2oz of water. I have a great nighttime nurse making all of this bearable.

The surgeon came to see me and turns out I had a 3 for 1 surgery - VSG, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia repair. Makes sense now why my recovery feels so brutal

Rough now, but you are going to feel so much better after you heal up!
