Not nervous. Ready to be done and to learn how to eat better with the sleeve. Praying for a fast recovery.

Not to worry, the hard part's over. You can handle the rest with ease. Congratulations on the first day of your new life!

Doing really well all. There's pain but probably only because I'm pushing myself. The pain from the CO2 isn't bad because I'm walking a bunch. Meds going down well and staying on top of them. Hoping I can feel well enough to get back to work ASAP.

Glad to hear all is going so well. Keep the updates coming :). I am in the last batch of April sleevers (26th April) - you are all trailblazers and I can't wait to join the journey!

Yup, my wife is a nurse and she had the band a few years ago, so I know all about how that gas pain looked, and so I was up and moving as fast as I could. It's been a few days now, and honestly, I'm surprised at how well I feel! My doctors did an amazing job, and the pain meds are doing what they should. I'm not pushing myself too hard, but just taking it easy and letting my body heal. I told my boss I might have to take some days off this week, but it's looking ilke I'll be able to go back to work on Monday! I won't be able to lift anything, but I'm an IT guy, so I can work from my computer.

      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.
