Recommended Posts

Hello All, Had my band placed Yesterday Friday July 29. I must say it was a very pleasant experience. I was nervous about the anesthesia, but they are real tricksters! lol He was pushing meds on my way into the OR! I only remembered them telling me to take deep breaths and next time I woke up i was in PACU!! Discharged home at 1:45 pm. Enjoying my chicken broth today!! Tastes like heaven- the little 2 oz that I have at a time! lol Good luck to all of u!!

I just had a little gas pain in my shoulder /left upper chest area, just a little, so i walked around the house for 15 mins and put the heating pad on my shoulder area and took a gas x strip. Not sure which one of them helped or if it was a combinations but I BURPED and passes some gas. I have been up walking around the house every hour on the hour for about 5 mins. Started that yesterday when I came home. I do not want the dreaded gas pains that I hear about. lol Good luck to you all! going to have some chicken broth!

      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. 🤞
