Thanks yall!

happy,,unfortunately I'm on tpn,,practically pure sugar..I've gained 9 pounds back worth of fluids. I can't aim for any weightloss till I'm off the tpn. Once I am, I will be back to square one with the clear liquid diet..and so forth.

You have just confirmed exactly what I was reading from the pages of a medical newsletter on gastric sleeve. If there is a leak you have a better chance on finding it 8 days out to 6 months. Anything earlier its harder to find a leak because the stomach is still n. i just discussed this with my PCP. He agreed to let me do a barium test 10-14 days out just to double check before I go back to work. I like my doc. Hes more excited than me that I am getting sleeved.

Good luck but just remember in the medical papers microleaks can occur up to 6 months

So glad to read that you were finally able to go home. So sorry you have had to go through all of this! Be encouraged. You sure seem like you are keeping a great attitude, but it must be difficult at some moments. Thinking of you and looking forward to your full recovery!

I'm so sorry to hear about your ordeal. A leak is definitely a big risk with this surgery and I'm sorry you were one of the few who developed one. I am happy that you are home and on the mend, and it sounds like they are not planning another surgery to fix it? I may have missed an update on that but it sounds like you are in wait-and-see mode. Please know our thoughts are with you and I hope your healing speeds up and you start to feel better soon! HUGS!

      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.
