I Made It Home From Tijuana And I Feel Great!



Recommended Posts

I made it home last night not knowing what my wife was going to do. Well, it was OK. She didn't want to talk and I think that was for the best. For the time I'm off the road (I'm a truck driver) I'm just going to be a good husband and let her talk when she is ready.

Ok, back to me. So I'm day 4 and I feel great. Yes, I'm going to have to learn about my sleeve. She is vary unforgiving.( And yes, she is most definitely a she. ) I'm going to have to learning all over how to eat. For now just little sips of Water and let the Jello dissolve before you swallow and take one pill at a time of my meds. Nothing big just little things like that.

I just want to say one more thing. Boy em I glad that I did this. I'm finely an official Sleever. And Trish and Dr Ponce were great. I even got Trish to join Skype. Send me a message if you want her user name. Or ask her a Facebook.< /p>

Good for you Candyman. Hope your recovery goes well and your problems are small. Wonder why your wife doesn't support you. Hope that changes as everything from now on (post surgery) is a new step towards a better and healthier YOU. God bless & good luck.

Glad everything with the surgery went fine. I hope your wife comes around for the support as this is a very important part. Just being on this forum will help for support and information. Seems you are tolerating the surgery very well which is great. This is a start of a new lifestyle and I am sure she will warm up to your changes soon.

      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.
