cool photo of healed VSG



Recommended Posts

I had an EGD (where they look inside your stomache with a camera) this week. I asked the doc to take a picture of my healed suture line, because I've always been curious as to what it looks like. It is neatly healed up, running along the bottom of the photo...a pale line in the sleeve.

That is so neat!! I have pictures of my sleeve. I asked that they take before and after pictures during surgery. The body is just so amazing and resilient!

It is the paler orange line that extends diagonally along the bottom of the sleeve, starting at the lower left hand of the picture, going up toward the upper right hand of the picture.

Could you post it here so we can see what it looks like when it is new?

very good of you to share. I too wondered what it looked like. I have my Xray photo of my sleeve,but, nothing actually inside.

I can share this with my friends/interested people.

Thank you.

That is great. My wife will really like seeing this, and it may help her understand how completely the body heals.

She still suffers a little from anxiety about it truley being healed.

      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. 🤞
