I was sleeved on November 9 and they also fixed a hiatal hernia. I have been in quite a bit of pain and the nausea on the second day made me want to lay down and die! Home today and feeling better but still in lots of pain and very overwhelmed by all the medications and having to drink one or two ounces every 15 minutes. Hopefully I will get used to it soon.

Hi Mrs. Burn -

I had my surgery on the 7th and I feel just like you do. I am feeling better every day, but WOW is all I can say. By any chance do your wrist hurt? My teeth even hurt. I ended up back in the hospital yesterday because I was dehydrated. Big bummer because I had to have another IV.

I really hope we can talk and help one another through this journey.

Tons of smiles your way!

I wad sleeved the 9th and had horrible nausea the second day from the dilauded. Once I switched to Tylenol 3, I started feeling better and I got to come home late yesterday afternoon. I'm not experiencing too much pain other that the incision where my drain was. I'm also having a difficult time getting comfortable enough to sleep any longer than 2 hours at a time. I absolutely HATE the Isopure but I'm choking it down and then sipping on warm broth (which is sooo good). I have noticed that the more I walk and move around, the better I feel!! So walk, walk walk!!!

Hoping we all recover soon!!!

:)

I had my sleeve on Nov. 7th and came home on the 9th and I must be extremely lucky because I feel really terrific!! The first day in the hospital I had some pain, but only took pain medication twice and have had none since. I am making my own Protein Shakes and having one (16 oz apprx.) per day and about 20 oz of Water per day. I'm sleeping fully through the night and just have a bit of soreness. I consider myself very lucky. Must have had a terrific surgeon!!

      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. 🤞
