September 12 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I've lost 40 and I was sleeved 6 days after you... I expected more as well, but I'm happy with 40 pounds in 60 days ! I certainly couldn't have lost 40 in 60 without my sleeve :P

I was sleeved 9/19/12. I have lost 42 pounds but all of a sudden I'm able to eat more than I could before. I'm worried my losing streak is over.

:-(

I didn't really have any pain to speak of other than being a little sore, which was to be totally expected. The larger hurdles for me are consuming enough liquid (staying hydrated is VERY important !) and fighting the nausea. It makes me not even want to eat at all, but I keep reading that it gets better with time, and it has gotten better, but I think it still happens way too often. Eating is no longer pleasant. It has definately become a stressful chore.

Hi i am new her & was wondering how long was u in pain after surgery

I was in pain for about 4 weeks & couldn't take the pain pills because of work. What really helped me was I wore a girdle that held my stomach tight. They also make binders you can wear. I saw one at Walgreens for about $30.

The pain was bearable most of the time but every once in a while I would bend or twist the wrong way and get this excruciating burning/tearing feeling, but like I said the girdle helped so so much!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
