Sep 24. the door to a long and healthy life



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am 15 hours post op and things are going well. minimal gas pains, mostly left sided neck pain that is manageable/tolerable. Hiatal hernia repaired. I am taking the pain meds right on schedule just in case but for now it is better than I thought it would be. I have to sleep in an upright position tonight because of the sleep apnea.

I made it!!!!! I can't believe it!!!! Surgeon said liver was in excellent shape because of the pre op diet so the surgery went quick. I dozing off now as I type so it must be time for another cat nap.

Bye all. :drool:

Congratulations!

Hey bnwalker - how is it going for you. My abdomen seems to be coming along nicely. Left shoulder pain from gas is a real "pain". Toots are coming easier every day but I can't wait for them to resolve fully.

How has your Fluid intake been? I am looking forward to getting off clear fluids and into vegetable juices and milk starting tomorrow.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
