I was sleeved 4/19 I feel really tired been walking around as much as i could.I have the worst burp like problems that hurt extremely bad and after my mouth waters. It's hard to get all my liquids down but I am trying. Every commercial is food related and I am starving! What doesn't help is the smell of Chinese food from the neighbors. My stomach a bit crampy and makes a lot of nose. My uvula throat hangy thing is irritated and raw because I'm assuming of the breathing tube. For a minute I regret this operation and just want to skip forward. I also feel kind of emotional. I'm 19 years old and I am/was 240 and I'm just thinking if my body is too young for such a drastic change. I don't know I just need some advice from people who are weeks out.

Hi Alssya,

While I don't have the experience of being sleeved yet I can tell you that I'm sure you don't want to get older and to continue gaining weight and god forbid get diabetes, or something else. It's hard in the beginning but isnt anything worth while. I hope things get easier for you.

      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. 🤞
