So I went for my 4 week post-op follow up with my doctor. I'm down 24 pounds (I guess this is good?), down an entire clothing size, and cleared for pretty much all activity now. I start back at the gym on Monday and hired a personal trainer. I'm feeling pretty good, though I do still have some discomfort on my right side. They aren't sure if it is the scar tissue and healing of the incision in the area or possibly my gaul bladder. I just have to watch it and if it persists or becomes painful, I have to be checked out. If it turns out to be my gaul bladder then they'll remove that. I knew that might be a complication but I hope it really is just the incision.

For anyone else 4 weeks or more, how did you feel at your 4 week follow up and how much weight did you lose at that point?

I am 4 weeks out and down 18 pounds from surgery day. I lost 10 on the pre op diet. Feeling great and able to do almost anything! looking forward to a little more energy. I started B12 today so hopefully that will help! I try to walk every day. I picked up some new Yoga DVD's this week for when it gets too cold out. I also have a treadmill for the winter too:)

Luckily they took out my gall bladder when they did my surgery.

Keep up the great work!!

      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. 🤞
