Yesterday was my big day. Hope everyone else who were on the same day are doing well. Surgery went smooth for me. Dr. said my liver was nice and small from preop liquid diet (lost 12 lbs in 2 weeks). Came out of anesthesia and wasn't in any real pain, but my throat was soooooo sore and dry and they couldn't give me anything to drink because I kept dozing off. Once

fully awake the ice chips tasted like Heaven. Not a lot of pain anywhere thanks to the pan pump, but I could not shake the nausea so they kept Me another night ( was supposed to go home the am following surgery). Finally found the combination of meds for the nausea and today am pretty darn comfortable. No trouble drinking fluids, getting up and down, walking around etc. The intense nausea from day one was pretty terrible... not gonna lie... It really Sucked! Not having much gas pain either. Husbnd brought the kids to visit today and was feeling pretty normal. Hope everyone else who had surgery yesterday and today is feeling good. Finally on to excited now that I've passed through frightened. Have had chicken broth, sf hello, sf juices and sf Popsicles and am not physically hungry. Luck and love to all you July Sleevers.

My big day is on the 17th. I keep floating back and forth between nervousness, excitement and fear. Mostly the fear is of the unknown and possible pain.

I am excited to seed the inches and pounds melt away. I am 38 and looking to enter my forties..thin & fabulous!!!

Congrats to all those who have gone before me and good luck to those coming up!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! Take it easy and the yucky stuff will pass. A fellow sleever friend had the same problem and was also told it was normal. Hang in there, my thoughts are with 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. 🤞
