It's done. I'm officially banded as of yesterday. The pain hasn't been that bad. Surgery went smoothly and I'm a little sore. So, my question is what happens now? When do you start feeling like yourself? When do the fills start? So ready to get this weight off but we're going to do this the healthy way.

The day after was much better than the day of, I was banded Thursday Oct 4. Today though, I've had bad indigestion all day long. Gas X no longer helps and it's the only hell I'm feeling. It's like hunger pains and indigestion all at the same time. Idk what to do to get relief. :-( I hope to feel better by Monday, I'm going back to work and school then.

I decided to take the week off. My job is stressful enough without being in pain on too. Hope you feel better soon.

Congratulations!!! Glad everything went well!

What happens now is, you follow your Drs. orders. Give yourself time to heal.

Best wishes to you!

My doc won't give me my first fill until 6 weeks postop. I think that's about the norm.

Glad all went well. U should be feeling pretty good after about a week as far as soreness. Just take it easy, drink slow, walk

      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.
