Howdy all...surgery almost didn't go I had personal doubts...than recovery was rough...WCB count high so I stayed in the hospital 2 days only to find at my CT to rule out any infection and or leak that my large fibroid cyst from y hysterectomy 09/2010 was huge and causing some issues!! OH JOY well I am home now, resting and enjoying the Protein and liquid WE CAN DO IT!!!

Good luck tomorrow!!! :) Let us know how it goes!

How are you feeling?!?! I'm getting mine this week!

I'm doing good. Struggling to get everything in, made my first homemade Protein shake today. I was able to sip about half of it down over an hour or so. It's really hard because I really have no appetite. Very strange for me but I'm rolling with it.

Everything is rumbling and moving inside today, lots of loud noises and gas. Hoping that all goes away soon and I get a little appetite back so I can enjoy my shakes and yogurts and such. Then again, I've only been out of surgery two days so I'm probably being a little impatient.

I'm wishing you the best of luck and want to hear all about your journey when you feel good enough to share with us.

You seem to be having very few issues, from what I've read from others. That's awesome. From what I've read the first coupleof weeks or so suck really bad. I'ts going to be rough, but YOU CAN DO IT!! I'm getting really nervous, other than that, my liquid diet is going fairly strong! I've had a few moments of weakness, but I survived! Just the fact that you got down half a shake in an hour is pretty impressive! I've been reading A LOT that many could barely sip Water the first couple of days! Keep up the good work! You are on your way!

      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.
