Update!!!!!!

Surgery went well I had a hiatal hernia repaired which I'm not surprised about because of the work that I do..I went into surgery around 8:30am and was in my room round 11ish. My mom and sister went with and the rest of the family came later on..my ex boyfriend even came to see me which I thought was sweet. I was having alot of soreness yesterday. But I got up several times to use the bathroom and go for a walk. I slept last night for a few hours but woke up this morning at 5am to pain in the belly button incision. The doctor changed my dressing and gave me some more Dilaudid :-)..so I'm just updating everyone now. I have to do my barium swallow test at 9am and if that goes well I can go home as soon as my parents get off work :-)

Don't be surprised if you have some pain after you get home in your chest area. Having the hernia repaired adds some pain. I had this done and my doctor told me I would experience a little more pain. Nothing to major! So happy you are on your way to a new you.

Good Luck.

I feel okay. I'm pretty sore when I get up or sit down. It doesn't hurt to bad as long as I sit still. I have zero appetite. I do feel pretty exhausted though. I have taken one pain pill since noon yesterday. As soon as I get this Protein shake down I am taking another one and hopefully take a nap. :)

Thanks for ur input makes us the pre-banders excited and can't wait!

I think the only thing I'm afraid is hair loss, and going to the OR before going to sleep! (yikes)

      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.
