November 3rd Dr. Kelly



Recommended Posts

Got the "official" date! Plane tickets booked, and hotel for the first night down there. I don't think I want to spend 3 nights in the hospital....even though it's free.

Excited, nervous, and a little bit scared.....but I've been waiting for what feels like forever to get up the nerve to book the surgery. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Just a quick update... had my surgery in the evening of Nov. 3rd. I don't really remember a whole lot, other than switching beds a few times before getting into the operating room. I woke up in my room, and fell back asleep for a few more hours...i think...then woke up to painful gas and naseous. They gave me some meds for pain and naseous and I slept again for the rest of the night. I've been very tired since the surgery and still have bouts of naseous. I have gotten sick a few times, and that was kind of scary.....but I'm ready to go home. The after care has been good, and I've met with Dr Kelly a few times since the surgery. I'm pretty tired right now but I'll post more later. Heading home tommorrow :)

Back home and so happy to be here! Doing much better today. I've been finding that warm tea feels really good and doesn't make me bloated or give me heart burn. All i can say is that i'm so happy to be home, even though there's snow on the ground.....can't wait to crack open a can of chicken broth tomorrow and stay in my pjs and sip away!!!!

      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.
