At my psychologist visit, she said to warn those who would be helping me post-op, that I would be miserable and regret my decision... but that it would only last a day or two. It will get better! Hang in there.

Hi, My sleeve surgery was on Monday, I went into it not knowing if I was getting the bypass or sleeve. I had a lapband that failed so there was a lot of scar tissue

Oh you guys, I'm so sorry you are having a bad time right now. I swear to you all it does get better. The day I had surgery I was a superstar, I felt great, the next day was the worst for me. Every day is better than the day before and just try to walk when you can, ask for antinausea medication, take sips, ask for med cups to sip out of and try to find something that calms and cools your tummy. I like bigelow decaff peppermint tea.

I was in the hospital for 5 days and I had some complications during surgery. I just kept reminding myself that each day will be better than the day before and it was.

My prayers are with you all.

I had my surgery on 6/11 and I'm feeling fine just have a lil soreness, actually wondering how long before I can have something different than broths.

i had my surgery this past monday. i was up and moving and walking down the hospital hallways that evening (i have a high tollerance for pain i guess) and i was released the next day after the leak test.

i must say, the second day was a b***h. hard to move around, pain, temp was at 99 degrees F and it was hard to drink an ounce of Water every 15 minutes. today is friday and i feel almost 100% better. just make sure you walk around and use your pain and nausea meds that you were given. most importantly, WALK WALK WALK. by the 3rd day, it'll be easier to drink and hold liquids down. you will see a difference.

in the end, it is worth it. when i woke up the second day, i was thinking, what have i done? its the 4th day for me and i dont regret this decision at all!

hang in there. we are all here for ya!

I just can't stay awake. I'm nowhere near my Fluid allowance and feeling really weak. Can feel every single sip going in. Can't do more than three in a row. I feel thirsty enought to down a pint in one go but I know it won't happen. The pain is more discomfort than anything. Just had a little walk in the garden and burped for England which hurts a bit. Dissapointed to only be a pound lighter.

      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.

      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.
