Hello loves! Had surgery on Monday the 11th. Heading home any minute now. I believe I'm truly one of the lucky ones. Slight nausea right after surgery but meds knocked it out. Passed the leak test yesterday and started the Clear Liquids. Feels weird going down...lots of little gas pockets going down and coming up but nothing horrible. Tolerated warm and cold just fine. Quite a bit of soreness at the main incision site on my left side and body aches and pains but all tolerable. Even giving myself the blood thinning shots isn't as bad as I was dreading it would be. About to enjoy my last hospital meal then off to home sweet home. Best wishes to everyone in recovery and soon facing surgery! So glad to be sleeved!! ♡

In the hotel now. Was sleeved Monday. And feel a little rough but not really bad just like you'd expect going through surgery. Had a nap and feel better. I feel like I could tackle the world one minute and ready for bed five minutes later. Still working on small sips. That's hard!

Ok maybe im just sensitive. To me it feels like someone is inside squeezing my stomach section by section. My dr and some felloe sleevers believe its because of the lack of food/protein intake... ill take half of a percocet until it calms down. A muscle relaxer may work but well see.... im a soldier but also do not like narcotics ( family issues). Ill just talk to her for now.

      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.
