I'm sure it will get better. I swore that I was not going to be one of those people who said what did I do to myself? But I'm really not feeling well. And I'm surprised.

Can't sleep.....

I have to be at Kaiser Richmond CA at 10:30 in the morning! My actual surgery is at 12:30.

I don't really have any support...my mom is taking me and is not very happy with my choice to have my sleeve. " you are losing the weight' date=' why get the surgery!"

I am getting my sleeve for my own reasons. I am a single mom. I have 2 children. I am going to turn 44 on June 21st...I will be in the hospital!!! I am not getting any younger. Losing the weight will give me back nine or so more years with my babies!!! Enough said, right?

Wish me luck, as I start this journey alone. If I watch one more Gastric Sleeve YouTube video, I may crack....LOL

Night...

Afternoon everyone!

Well' date=' I had my surgery yesterday! It was awful waking up from the anesthesia- I was sooooo sick, dry heaving with horrible cotton mouth sucks. The nurses gave my everything they had for nausea. Didn't work? Nope......

So, it was a long night of checking my pulse and getting up to pee. They must have filled my abdomen with the Panama Canal!

Good new is, I am home. I have a buttload of meds to take. I had the pharmacist make me a meds time sheet.

Laying on the couch, sipping chicken broth with horrible gas. I am bloated and get the hiccups every time I get up to walk.

Bottom line, I am home, it is over, I am on a new road- just learning to drive slow...

Yes the hiccups! I don't get them anymore.

      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.
