So far so good,the biggest thing for me do far is planning for my return home,I not afraid about the procedure itself I am actually looking forward to it I know it's going to be the stepping stone to a better,healthier life I've tried losing the weight on my own throughout my adult life and was able to keep it off for a while but somehow I get stuck and I start packing back on the pounds I never tried dietary aids due to side effects I already had issues so I couldn't talk myself into taking the chance just to lose a couple pounds,I work a lot now so that doesn't leave much time to get to the gym most days it's debating between sleep a fee hours or sit up and eat 9/10 it's sleep lol I do use my breaks to get in 30-45min walks everyday I'm down 7pounds since I first contact weightloss agent about the procedure. Praying for safe travel and return home and will try to answer any questions to the best of my abilities.

I too will be going through this center. Sadly I do not have many to talk to about it for they all think I'm crazy to do this but it's for me and that's all that matters! Please keep us up to date on the center and thoughts, etc.

I didn't tell my family,we know they mean well but sometimes it's nice to not hear the negative comments,at least for me.

I completely agree, I did tell my best friend and was told I was crazy for doing it however this is for me. We all do this for our own reasons weather it be for health reasons or just your tired of fighting the fight with food and weight. I paid my deposit this week and soon we be on the joinery to Long Term VSG.

Well I'm here you guys landed yesterday it was an available spot for surgery I went ahead and did it to get it out of the way.I will be honest I came alone but from the other ppl that was here for the same thing you would think we all came here together I however was the youngest so that was cool cause everyone was looking out for each other I happen to be in room with a beautiful lady inside and out she came with a church member whom has been a blessing and helpful to everyone the staff here has also been great no side talk or rude looks I love them they are all great and happy to help,I don't encourage traveling alone but I'm use to it due to the nature of my work but I felt safe and taken care of...now far as pain I will say it's a 7/10 and that's because I can't seem to get any rest I can't get comfortable enough in bed I'm sitting up in a chair now cause I'm tired of laying in bed and I have been nasuate a lot and dry heaves has been the worst still nothing to eat just fluids I did feel a hunger pain this morning but idk if it's normal or not I will ask....that's all for now be blessed
Yes, safe travels prayers back at you! I am anxious and excited to hear about how the procedure went for you and I can't wait to see how great you look! Are there any pre-op instructions you're following?
