I feel great, a little sore and tired. I'm a revision from Band to sleeve so i'm on two weeks of straight liquids and then another two on full liquids. I'm sick of drinking and can't wait to have yogurt or pudding. Not the biggest fan of Jello.

Dr. Phol is not a big talker he's kind of straight to the point. I personally don't find him very friendly but he is highly recommended and I'm glad he did my surgery. I prefer dealing with is PA Jeremy he's awesome to talk to!!

i'm here anytime you have questions I've done this WLS thing twice now!

I'm in NH!! Heyyyy!! I had my surgery sept 7th! 2 weeks today. I'm down 25 since surgery and 45 lbs total with my pre op diet. I'm pretty good now, little to very minimal pain, everything went smoothly for me. Best wishes! I just got back from a few days in Jamestown RI for some relaxation! It was beautiful!!

I am Kristen from RI Just got home yesterday from sleeve surgery on tues the 18th. I saw Dr Pohls associate, Dr Giovanni. Overall, doing well. Tired and slight sore. But I had 2 c-sections and this was much easier. Just getting used to the new lifestyle of drinking shakes, and not much chewing at this time. But all is looking up !!

Hi everyone! So glad you're here! Sounds like everyone is doing well. I just had my first appt. with Dr. Pohl this morning. I'm on my way and I'm so excited. there was a lady in the waiting room that I spoke to for quite a while. She had gastric bypass three years ago and loves it! I had so many questions, omg I asked her question after question but she was so nice. She was there with her husband who is getting the surgery now.

Kristen - funny - I had two C-sections too. Keep doing well!

Tekara - Heyyyy back! Good for you - 45 pounds GONE! Amazing! keep in touch - you're not that far away in beautiful NH!

Little Red 30 - no Dr. Phol is not a big talker but he's the best and that's what I care about from him. You'll be eating that yogurt in no time! Baby steps :)

ljperez - Nice to know we have a Bostonian on board too. Have you already been sleeved?

LessofKelly - welcome!

God I look HUGE in my profile photo. Just look at the fat face. Ugh!!! Funny how we don't see ourselves accurately until we look at a photo and then all of a sudden, we're somehow shocked. By next year, that face will be totally changed but I will still be ME B)

CarolC - I loved your list of what you're looking forward to. You're almost four months post-op now - any regrets? My husband is a "I'm not going to tell you what to do because it's YOUR body and I don't want to be blamed for anything but I wouldn't do it" kind of guy so I'm a little stressed about making it to surgery, through surgery and what my life will be like afterwards. Really, my worst fear is having regrets because this is permanent. Oh, if we could only see into the future!!!!!!!!

      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. 🤞
