12 days out and doing good.



Recommended Posts

I'm now 12 day post op and I'm just about back to feeling normal again. My energy level has improved each day, and I don't tire so easy with walking. I spent 3 days in the hospital because of an unexplained fever, which sucked because it's hard to really rest with nurses and aids coming in and out of your room so frequently. So far I have tolerated everything I have tried easily.which in my opinion has been a blessing. Also so far no heartburn, nausea or other complications. I have to thank god for it being such an easy journey so far. If anybody has questions I am more than willing to answer. I would love to pay the board back for all the useful information it has provided me.

Forgot the NSV's that I have had so far...

Looser fitting clothing already! I am wearing a T shirt that I bought and wore once 2 1/2 years ago because it shrunk. Now it fits!

Fitting into booths at restaurants! I have taken the kids out to eat a few times and I already fit into booths that my gut used to drag on!

My knees can already feel the difference!

      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. 🤞
