I had my surgery last Friday (a week ago) and went to my follow up today, lost 10lbs!! OMG! I cant believe it. My surgery went very well, no complications, first few days are a little tough, I came home Monday and every day feel better and better. Today I actually feel great, went shopping, etc. No regrets at all. The first week is a bit hard trying to get in all the liquids but it went by really fast. GOOD LUCK ON MONDAY. My surgery day weight was 206, was 196 today!

Well alot of what to expect depends on your surgeon and how he believes aftercare should be. You have to remember we all have different pain levels but in my opinion and based on my surgery, you will wake up after you get to your room. you'll have soreness like you did alot of exercises..like maybe a 500 situps. You will walk within 4 hrs and be given Clear Liquids.I did use the pain meds the first 12 hrs. I slept alot,walked alot and sipped alot, 24 hrs after surgery I was released to come home. I rode 2 hrs to get home and was tired but by the 2nd day home I showered dressed and went to Walmart with hubby. I tried to drink 2 oz eery 15 minutes usually room temp or lukewarm felt better than icy cold. Good Luck and what a nice Valentine! Let us know your doing ok.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
