I got a fill yesterday and I think I might finally be in the "green zone"?? Or is it too soon to tell? Yesterday and today, I have eaten half of what I have been eating since the surgery.

How are you feeling? I had a lot of gas pain in my neck and jaw after the surgery. Don't know how he is with you but with me, he hardly ever talks! However, this last time, he said more words than all times combined. lol

How many fills have you had? Is this the first time you have felt any "restriction" after a fill? I get my first fill this Saturday, sure hope it helps. So far I've felt no restriction whatsoever.

Lol, i know what you mean. He is pretty quick and to the point with me, but to be honest i kind of like that. I dont really need all the jibber jabber. I want to know whats going to happen, what i need to do, and how it affects me. I did have a lot of shoulder pain, but it has been better especially this morning. The gas was pretty bad also, but same thing, I am doing much much better this morning.

This is my fourth fill... I have had to really control myself before and I could eat anything/any amount.

      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.
