How did your surgery go' date=' ShrinkyDink?[/quote']

Surgery went really well. I had single site Dr said it would take about 2 hours and he finished in an hour fifteen ;-)

My sleeve had a lot of swelling and I failed my leak test Tuesday morning as the contrast would not leave my esophagus. So i stayed until yesterday and did a repeat upper gi in the morning. Fluids were still moving slowly but it was much better than Tuesday.

I haven't really had much pain. The area around my belly button hurts when I get up from laying or sitting.

The gas pains started yesterday. Mine seemed to have been delayed. Gas and bowel sounds started yesterday afternoon.

Still trying to figure this all as far as sipping and eating. My belly talks to me now when I drink Water it gurgles. Which I'm sure will. Go away as swelling goes down but ya never know ;-)

If you have any questions let me. Know

      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.
