Congrats! I'm so excited for you! I am 7 days post op so far and I feel great! Today was the first day I didn't feel like I needed the pain Meds and the gas in my left shoulder is better too! Don't sweat it ! I feel better now than I did getting my wisdom teeth removed! Good luck and word of advice dong weigh yourself for at least a week! Let your fluids come out and the gass get released and your swelling go down! I made the mistake and noticed I gained 4 lb but now I'm finally down!

What prep did you do? And how are you feeling post op? Wish you the best.

I did the two week all liquid Protein diet (mostly Slim-fast drinks and Atkins Diet Drinks), two days before began the cleansing wash and Listerine mouthwash.

I arrived at the hospital at 6:15 am, was taken to pre-op at 7am, and surgery by 8am. Left hospital by 11am.

I actually feel decent. I've been up and about every two hours to walk around my home and do a few light activities mainly because the gas has settled under my left shoulder blade. By doing so, the gas has subsided. Important Note: I've taken my Phenergan and the Lortab elixir right on time.

We'll see what tomorrow brings !?!

Surgery went well. I showed up @ 10:30am and was out by 2:30pm I think. Having a rough night tonight, pain in stomach and shoulder sucks and nausea. sleeping on your back sucks! I have been waking up every hour or so. Trying to get sleepy so I can go lay back down.

I slept well, however woke up at 6:30am in major pain and extremely nauseated. My stomach feels like I've done 1,000 crunches! I may have over done it yesterday. Has anyone else had the same experience?

      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.
