The incisions all look good! The only one that even hurts is where the drain was, and that was just taken out yesterday morning. :-)

Sorry for the late reply. I was offshore first thing this morning. I walked up to the desk clerk and asked if I could board first due to surgery and they fixed me up with a good seat by the window

Today is my one week surgerversary and I weighed yesterday (Fridays are my weigh days) and I was down 11.2 lbs since the morning of my surgery! And I lost a little over 5 lbs on the pre-op diet, so 16 lb all together! I'm pretty damn excited. I know it won't always be like that, but I'm happy for the jump start! I'm feeling really good and was actually already given the ok to eat purée. Thank you guys for your support :-)

I didn't say he didnt use the bougie, i said I didnt know if he did and never heard it mentioned so I am very very pleased to see here that he does. I am feeling absolutely perfect, no problems of any kind, so he definitely did something right :))

 

 

I am so happy for you Meg.. welcome to your new life :)

I was sleeved by Dr Almanza on Sept 5 and he used a boughie with me too. I believe his literature states that he does and indicates the size. I had a very good experience and was well taken care of. their communication can be a bit lax but I have no regrets and would do it again in a minute. made some great friends that i hope to maintain contact with, Most fun was a special shopping trip put together just for us to Ensenada and the blow hole ...it was awesome! yep not everyone felt like going but those of us who did enjoyed every minute of the tour.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
