I wish you the best. An easy recovery & a tool that helps manage your weight for a lifetime. Please keep everyone posted. If things are different than you expected, please ask the experts b/c if you have a question so do others. Will be looking for updates. I will be following you shortly as my last doctor's appointment is 9-10 & then everything will be sent to my insurance company for approval. Take care, Jan

Good luck! :) The day of the surgery I felt like I was on top of the world. I was very loopy on the anesthesia and giggling a lot lol. I wanted to get up and walk around, and my aunt had to hold my hand because she was afraid I was going to fall over. The day after surgery I wasn't feeling so hot- lots of nausea and soreness. By the third day, though, I felt better.

Like all things, it'll be different for everyone. I feel pretty good now physically- just a little pressure on my chest from trying to sip this Protein stuff too much. The gas pain is almost completely gone. I'm 4 days out from surgery.

You'll be just fine!

thank you ladies. i am in my room now. i am in pain but they are trying to keep on top of it so that im not hurting. the feeling is kinda like haveing the stomach flu. i hate that feeling, but it is better then i expected. i already peed and walked 4 laps around the hospital floor, and it was only 2 hours after my surgery! my surgery was over before 6pm, and it is only 815pm now! i hope my recovery goes well.

      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
