:o Did you have your 1 week appointment with your surgeon?

I am 1 week out and I am still sore-I think the incision are tighening up and that's a good thing. I also have a couple of stiched that didn't 'fall out'" so he said if they don't he will take them out in 2 weeks. Pain relivers should help with the soreness and an ice pack. I also find that if I sit upright too long it hurts. Now if those are gas pains you're having you'll have to plan to go outside and take a short walk a few times a day.

You'll feel better soon-really, you will!

Your lungs get a little "tired" with the rest of you when you have surgery and are put to sleep. I had this as well and had a cough for a day and the next day I was fine. Try deep breathing (I know it hurts but trust me it will get better!) Take really deep breaths and do it 10-15x every hour to strengthen them. That's a good idea to have the dr listen to your lungs to make sure you're not getting sick from it, but it is likely that you just need to do some deep breathing exercises.

      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.
