I've been in my room since about 1:30. I've been up walking so much as it is the only thing that really gives me relief

All's well in here in room 2!

I was so nervous about going under and I hardly remember a thing after they slipped me the good stuff! So glad I brought my BestGalpal. She's 10 months out, an amazing support. Would be lost without her.

They've got us on the narcotic pain relifmso I'm drifting in and out. I feel fine though! No pain!

Hiya guys I'm finally able to reply. The surgery went well but the after is not so good. I have a high fever that has been ongoing since the surgery, and I have a lot of pain related to the gas. They have kept me in the hospital for an extra night and I am having trouble sleeping. Sorry for the late posting but I really have not been doing so well. Thanks everyone for your prayers. Paige

Oh my God' date=' it is finally here.... S(sleeve)-Day! My surgery is in 3 hours. Will be leaving for the hospital in 15 minutes....

Thanks to everyone here who has answered my crazy questions, given me encouragement/advice and support. I actually have VST and all of you to thank for getting me to this day. This was the first place I came for information back in August and it was VST and it's members that gave me the courage to do this....

And a special thanks to enuf is enuf....I'm not sure what your occupation is but honey, if you are not a motivational speaker or minister, YOU SHOULD BE!! You're awesome!

I'd appreciate prayers and positive thoughts.

And by the way, I am freaking starving!!! I've been on Clear Liquids for 2 days and well, I hope this is not a sign of things to come because I could a giant steak RIGHT NOW....

Thanks you guys! XOXOXO

Ok I know that I have been MIA. Ok so today I feel so much better having a little trouble getting on my liquid in. I have been up and down for the past two days. I have no desire to eat anything. I don't have a scale at home because I knew I would go overboard with the weighing myself. I don't feel bad I just don't feel 100%. I am trying to keep my spirits high. Glad to be home. Glad to be in my own environment . Hope this is some help for someone.

      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.
