Recommended Posts

Not good. I'm supposed to leave the hospital tomorrow.

Hi there, just curious if you go home... Who will manage the wound? Dressing changes? Are they going to send someone like a visiting Rn? I hope they have a plan about it coz the wound needs a lot of cleaning and caring for. You're in pain and recovering so I hope they don't expect ou to do that ... Get well soon and hope this ordeal will end soon. hUgS!

I'm sending prayers your way. I can't imagine what you must be going through. I have my surgery consult this Thursday and even though it scares me to death after reading about your experience I know I will make it through...just as you will. Stay strong and remember why you are doing this in the first place.

This photo was taken 2-2. Not trying to gross anyone out I just feel people should see this. I have yet to have a day with out pain. My wound has to stay open and heal from the inside out.

This is not commen! So dont freak out....hard to say right. At this point yes I have lost weight. I never had a true addiction to food. I've just been big my whole life. I dont miss food. I'm never hungry. I'm just out of work way longer than expected.

I will update my profile here soon people. I even have all my costs lol. Anthems website lists everything. I have so much o need to pick a day I have patience.

Yes. Very slowly though bc the wound is so deep. But all the nurses that come to repack me always say it looks meaty lol. Apparently its good that the inside of the hole looks like a fresh cut of meat

      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. 🤞
