Thanks everyone, you're all so nice. :)

Everything went fine. They took me back to the prep room, gave me a few shots and a thingy behind the ear, next thing I knew I was in recovery. The only problem I had was after I got back home and took a nap, I woke up in a pool a blood. Two of the incisions broke open in my sleep somehow. We tried to get it to stop by keeping them packed with gauze and changing them every hour or two but it didn't stop so I went to the ER and they pit 2 stitches in each one. Seem the glue and strips they put on them came loose.

But that's all taken care of, I'm still a little gassy and sore, but I was able to eat a few popsicles and a glass or two of apple juice. I must be pretty swollen cause that seemed to fill me up a lot.

They gave me a large band so the nurse said I'll help a bit with the first few weeks because there won't be much restriction till I get in for my first fill.

Worst part is the gas. Feels like a cantaloupe is trying to push it's way out of my shoulder every time I bend over or try and take a deep breath.

Oh, I lost 16 lbs on the 7 day liquid diet, so that's was a nice jump start. :D

Welcome home and congratulations! Sorry about the glue issues -- that must have thrown you guys for a loop. Best wishes for a smooth recovery now with lots of walking and Popsicles and SLEEP! So happy for you at the beginning of this journey -- and a jump-start at that. Good luck with all!

      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.
