Surgery went great and I feel fine. Was in and out in 7 hours. I took some GasX as soon as I got home, so no pain - yeah. This was the easiest surgery I have ever had. I am so happy. I've been drinking plenty of fluids all day with no problem. All of my fears and anxiety were for nothing - lol. Now onto a lifetime of health and feeling great and looking great. For me, this was the best decision I have ever made and the best is yet tocome. Have a good night everyone!

Hey, I was banded yesterday (01/30/2012) Took pain meds yesterday and slept and walked. I think it went great. I am so excited. Hope you had as good a day as I did.

I'm happy to hear your surgery went well! I was banded today too...woo hoo!! I'm a little sore, but it is definetly manageable! I am so happy to be on the banded side. I was a nervous wreck today. I was totally questioning my decision and so far I'm happy I went through with it!

Thanks everyone - and congrats to all of us on the banded side. Surgery yesterday, today was good - really good. Soreness relieved with liquid Lortab, no gas pains but took 2 Gas X proactively to make sure. I actually am staying with my daughter this week and spent the majority of the day cleaning her house and doing her laundry! Boy, I hope I don't pay for that tomorrow - lol. :) I usually tend to do too much too soon. I am not hungry but drinking plenty of liquids - hoping the not hungry feeling lasts a long time. I am so grateful this turned out to be so much better than I had imagined it would be. Stay strong everyone and good luck to us!

      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. 🤞
