It will b here before u know it. I was banded on the 14th so I am one week old. Still have some gas, really rumbles sometimes. The worst part has been headaches that I wish would stop. I'm ready to move on to puréed foods.

We are all amazing and thank you for being out there to help me! ((Hugs))

Went for pre-op on friday 10-18 and final surgical clearance. I received a copy of my fmla paperwork and was suprised to see the Dr put me out for 2 weeks. I was only expecting 1 based on our prior discussions and what most people have said.

Any post ops having painful burping? Gurgles of gas from throat don't hurt but burps do.

Yes, that would be me as well. Feels like the gas is sitting in the back of my throat forever, then hurts when I finally burp.

I'm 9 days post op now. Had my follow up yesterday. Everything is looking good. Starting on mushy foods today. Scrambled eggs were awesome. I go in 2 weeks for my first fill! I've lost about 4 lbs, but not really thinking about losing right now, just trying to heal.

      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. 🤞
