It's done- now my new life can start! Was in surgery at 830 now home about an hour. Nurse said it went great. Have a headache but guessing lack of caffeine. Super drowsy.....

Congratulations ! Welcome to the other side. So rest and walk around the house to get the gas out , and you'll probably feel better in a couple of days. dont forget your fluids ! My 1st 2 days were resting, by the 3rd day i went and did a little lite Xmas shopping. just being outside and breathing fresh air for an hour did wonders for me. Hope all goes well ! im so glad i got banded, it has been sooooo worth it !

Thanks Patty- today is a much better day lots of nausea yesterday. Having my first sips of Lipton chic noodle Soup sans the noodles and only broth but sounds better than saying I'm having an ounce of 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. 🤞

      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.
