Getting Vsg At 22



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone' date='

Just thought I would post in the forum! I got approved today for an August 22nd date. I got lucky in the fact that my insurance was actually pretty easy to work with and I got approved the first time I applied. I'm enjoying reading everyone's stories on here and am very glad I am having the surgery before I head back to school in September![/quote']

I'm 24 years old... i just got approved and did my pre-op today. Surgery is Aug 21st! Good luck!!!

I'm 25 and getting the sleeve this fall. I havent had anyone ask me if I thought I was too young..if anything I wish I had gotten the sleeve years ago

So I would have been able to enjoy my early 20's at a healthy weight. The good part is since we our young we will bounce back quickly and less changes of loose skin :)

I felt the same way. It is so frustrating the first several days. And you're never actually physically hungry. Stay strong!

I had surgery on the 21st and came home yesterday. Havent had any issues with wanting food. My struggle so far is being able to drink Water like I used to before sugary. I love water and only being able to sip it is not working for me.

How are you feeling? I know what you mean about the water! I love my water and I hate the idea of not being able to gulp it down! Oh well, I would much rather be a sipper and be thin!

I'm feeling ok, could definitely be worse. My right side and 2 of my incisions are pretty painful. But as long as in relaxing (laying in bed or sitting down) in ok.

      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.
