I had a complication I ended up with pnemonia and a blood clot. I chose the sleeve because, it offered the most benefits and least amount of complications. I got unlucky but, would do it again in a minute I am 27 lbs down and I haven't had a lot of gas pain. I am struggling with Protein and getting liquids in but, I am working on it and have not been hungry once. I fill up quickly and am hopeful this is going to be the tool to finally help me lose this weight.

Hi' date='how did your surgery go? I am thinking about the sleeve,I am going though the steps. Why did you choose the sleeve?

How long did the gas pain last?[/quote']

Overall my surgery has gone very well. I had it on 9/4 and was released on 9/7. The reason for the delayed release was due to dry heaving immediately after the surgery which was awful. I also had elevated BP which needed to be under control. I chose the sleeve because I only need to loose about 80 lbs. when I started (Pre surgery & liquid diet) on 8/21 I was at 220 lbs and I'm now at 195. So so far so good. My diet after surgery for 7 days consisted of Clear Liquids (water, crystal light, green teas,), for the next 14 days thru week 3 post surgery I'm on cloudy liquids (cream Soup, Protein shake). I'm looking forward to 8/26 when I start puréed foods. I really did not experience gas pain or any major pain for that matter. Although I do take the pain meds to help me be more comfortable at night. Again overall things are well in fact I flew on Friday to attend a business trip.

      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.
