I'm so sorry to hear that. That is unfortunate. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

Hi

I think i am the opposite. I think my pouch is too big. i am 16 days post op. I can drink a big glass of milk in 5 minutes and not feel full. Any food I eat stays with me 15 minutes and then hunger pains come again. i had bad bleeding post op. There should have been none with plication surgery. i was supposed to be full after 2 or 3 bites as per what the doctor said but this is so not true. I have hunger pains all the time. The xray of the stomach showed it 3/4 full when i took about 1 oz of the barium so what is happening here? They said you will not feel hungry after this surgery but that too is so not true.

Thanks

Kacee, who did you have your surgery with? Also are you taking any acid reducing pills? I found a profound difference in what I thought was hunger.

Kacee, I am so sorry you are not feeling well......

Are you taking acid reducer pills? Nexium, prevacid, something like that. I find that most of the time what I think is hunger pains is actually acid....I take a Prevacid at night...and it has helped with the hunger thing...

I also can drink water/shakes/etc and not feel restriction...or full....once you start eating solid or soft foods you will find you will get full...you will know when you eat too much....or at least that's the way it is for me....I have never thrown up due to over eating, but have eaten that one extra bite that makes it so super uncomfortable....

I hope you feel better soon.....

      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.
