I'm getting nervous!! I got admitted into the hospital in Seoul (so already Tuesday the 26th) and having surgery tomorrow afternoon, 27th. Sitting in the hospital waiting for over 24hrs is nerve wracking!!!! The doctors said i could eat and drink but only before midnight. Also found out they don't do leak tests so I'm not sure how i feel about that... I also JUST found out that I'll be giving myself injections. Awesome. ㅠㅠ

Anyway! Good luck everyone!!

Good Luck! I had my surgery on the 15th of February, my surgeon didn't do a leak test either! He said everything was fine inside! You will be fine! :)

My name is Rebecca. I was sleeved on 2/11. My starting Bmi was 61 and weight was 386.6. I am 2 1/2 weeks out and down to 347. So happy I did this for myself and my family. I feel great. I haven't been released to work out by the doctor yet but I have been able to take walks. My husband is planning to get sleeved next month.

I was sleeved 2/25. No leak test. No hospital stay. No drain. No pain meds. Clear Liquids for 7 days and then onto thick liquids. I dry heaved with every sip for first two days but here I am on day 4 doing great. Been walking in yard. Went to salon had hair fixed. Going shopping tomorrow. I've lost 15 lbs since surgery. Woohoo! Rocking this sleeve baby.

Hi again!

Sleeved on the 27th. I thought I would be sleeved around 5pm but they came in around 1:30 or so and were like, let's go! Haha i was shocked and felt immediately nervous. A few tears leaked down as they wheeled me into the operating room. Put myself onto the table, they hooked me up and i was glad they gave no warning about being put to sleep. Just remember my face going hot and then woke up i guess in the icu. Definitely felt pain. Ugh! Was transported to my room and my legs got wrapped around the machine to pump them. Woke up around 5 pm.

Later on they gave me some pain shots, and unfortunately my stomach hated that. Was vomiting foam after every shot. My fiancé finally made it around 9 pm and took care of me. Finally went home on Thursday.

Wasn't allowed to walk much the first day and couldn't really the next day because of how tired i was.

I've been trying to figure out how much i can actually drink without vomiting. Home now and just taking it slow. Day 3 and not much pain. sleeping on and off. I begin work on Monday so I'm trying to rest as i can.

I really can't believe I did it! Crazy that it's done!!

Good luck everyone with trying to adjust!

      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. 🤞
