Hi Lady vs, it turns out that I did receive very good post surgery instructions. I found them when I was going thru the bag sent home with us. My husband had taken them out and laid them aside, and mail was placed on top of them. Ugh, he didn't remember seeing them. I'm glad I found them. It made me feel much better, lol...

Hi Roger, I don't have any regrets. I was nervous too. I'm still sore from the surgery and I do get a bit hungry. I look forward to my first adjustment in 3 weeks. Hopefully we will hit the green zone within 1 or 2 adjustments. I won't lie, I know I'm going to miss eating my favorite foods, but it will all be worth it in the end.

I was banded 3 days ago and I feel pretty good. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Very little hunger and interest in food. I can do this!

How long did it take Dr Reilly's office to get you scheduled once you were approved? I chose him as my doctor also through True Results.

Dr. REILLY only put stitches on the inside, so I have incisions which are now small holes trying to heal. I'm 8 weeks out and these should be healed already. I was given an anti-scarring medicine and have used as instructed. I asked the nurse about it when I went in for my fill and she said it was fine. My common sense tells me this isn't right. Is anyone else having this issue?

      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. 🤞
