I just have to know if anyone else out there gets what I call air locked after the sleeve. Sometimes it feels like I have swallowed I giant gumball of air. I am assuming this means I took too big of a bite or too big of a drink but it seems to be happeneing more and more. Just looking for any direction. I was sleeved on 7/13 and this has really been the only ongoing nuisance so far.

I definitely know what you mean. I found that it happened to me when I took too big a drink or took too many sips too close together. I'm now 6 weeks out and can take bigger sized drinks at one time, but I still have to watch it when I'm feeling thirsty and want to "guzzle".

Yep same here at abut 8 months out, I get the burps and burp a few small burps in a row and it subsides, there are times when I can't talk till I get the gas out. It doesn't happen very often and seems to be more prevalent after a "big" meal that I ate too fast. Of course a BIG meal now is just one small portion.

      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. 🤞
