I was sleeved on July 30th, honestly the biggest mistake of my life. 75lbs down but I can't even eat yogurt without it hurting me. I hate eating so much that I eat once a day. I'm completely miserable, fine when I have an empty stomach but as soon as I take a bite it hurts. So tired of this and I feel alone. Everyone I know who has had this surgery can eat without problems.

I'm so sorry to hear about these awful problems, Karissa. You must be getting terribly malnourished. Have you spoken with your surgeon and doctor? Something is definitely wrong. What kind of tests have they run? Can you drink without being in pain? You need to demand answers from your doctor!!!

I have an appointment with him next week. I can drink with no problem, I drink all day long and can go through a 20oz bottle in a little over an hour. I'm pretty sure my esophagus needs to be dilated. Idk hopefully it's not too serious because I can't handle anymore problems. I actually munch on little things all day but I eat a real meal at least once a day. It just hurts so much to eat. I don't understand why because I chew chew chew and eat super slow.

And to make it worse I was diagnosed with a bad UTI the other day so I feel like I was hit by a Mac truck. I'm having every complication possible and I'm down in the dumps. I've done everything I'm supposed to and following every rule, I don't get why this is happening to me :/

I am praying for you too!! I hope the surgeon can fine out what the issue is. It has to be mental and physical draining to hurt every time you eat. :( Its good to hear you can get fluids in and can at least eat something. ;) Are you making sure you do not eat and drink at the same time? I am sure you tried it all. I wish you a speedy solution to your issue so can can continue on your journey to an healthy you. :rolleyes: I hope it is something simple, that the surgery fines thats causing you such discomfort.

      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. 🤞
