Good luck with surgery!!! Ask your doctor what he recommends if u experience gas pains...I'm 3 days post op and have been quite miserable today...bloated and gas pains. My incisional pain is tolerable....only a little sore with certain movements.... I would've like to have been better warned/prepared for gas pains.... Good luck!!!!

I agree on the gas pains..it made me miserable. I used a heating pad and icy hot and over the counter gas relief chewable tablets and they worked better then the pain meds! Of course ask ur dr about taking ovc meds before u use them. U will do great! Good luck!

I know EXACTLY how you feel. My journey starts 10/1 as well. I have an afternoon appointment, wish I was in the morning. I would rather wake up, get to the hospital and get it done early. When is your appointment?

Best of luck to you and the girl having the operation 10/2. It is the best decision of my life. It is a tool that gives us back our lives.... But we must work it and use it as a tool... It's not magic.

Best wishes

Thank you all! I'm scheduled early in the morning! Just like Skisyd, I also cannot sleep. I'm just having last minute jitters. :(

      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.
