Ok so I hope I don't gross anyone out this pic was taken 2-2 in the hospital. I have now lost all modesty and nothing grosses me out lol.

For the record this is not commen. This is the incision my stomach was removed through. It's an infection caused by that. A very small percentage get this.

I had extreme pain constantly from day one. I had a one week follow up and I was told I looked fine. I was like how am I fine??? I see people up and ready to go in a week. 4 days later I step into the shower and stuff started shooting out of my incision. My belly truly looked ok at the drs visit.

Sorry you have to go through that. Hang in there it will get better. :)

Infection in the incision that the stomach is removed through. It has to heal open so it has to be repacked twice a day. It got worse so I had to go back to the hospital on continuous iv antibiotics. A nurse comes now twice a day for a short period of time. The hole was 3" deep it is now 2.5 sad part is all my other incisions are healed.

Wow so sorry for that. I had surgery once and had wound care like that that was so painful getting packed daily.

But through all of this have you lost anything???

So I weighed myself this morning, and didn't believe the scale, so I stepped on it again. I really can't believe it. I was sleeved on 1/29 and weighed in at 311.2 and this morning my scale says 277.8....wow is all I can say.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
