Congratulations on the sleeve! The first week is the hardest -- the first couple of days, really. Just sip, sip, sip (tiny sips!) and walk when you can, and you'll be doing great in no time!

Yep these are the days of gas. At first it gives pain then it just gets annoying. At times you think your sleeve might whistle a tune for ya as much noise as it makes! As always walk and sip to work it all out of there. Congrats on starting the journey!

Thanks Girl, well to give you and update. I was sleeping and then it hit me, a feeling that something different was going on, as i got up i had to go. I had my 1st B/M just 3 & a half days after. I call my wife at work at 0400 am & she was just as happy. Well congrats on you weight loss. :thumbup1:

      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. 🤞
