Recommended Posts

Surgery went Great- Thank God!

It was yesterday, Nov 12th at 2:15pm and lasted approx 2 hrs.

Yesterday was very tuff on me... I was in a lot of pain and felt nauseous. I slept a lot and walked in the evening. Yesterday I could not have food or Water...

But today they are giving me ice chips... Water and a little serving of Protein Shake. My serving sizes are smaller than a shot glass - 1 every 15 mins.

My pain is much better today... and I have walked a few times. Warm plastic heating bags have been given to me to place on my tummy and a cold one for the back of my neck- And they help!

I was told that if I tolerate my fluids well I will be discharged this p.m.

Thanks Again... Good luck to all!!!

Congrats & Good Luck...

it's a great choice. In fact the nurse that attended me was sleeved 2 years ago and said it was the best choice out there... she went from 310 to 185 :) Sooooo inspiring!

I was sleeved on the 12th and released today also! Not a whole lot of pain...mostly just soreness in the left side of my abdomen. Also have a lot of crazy noises going on in my tummy! Lol

I've been able to tolerate a Protein Shake and some Soup so far today. Water isn't a problem thank goodness.

Glad you're doing well!

      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. 🤞
