I was trying not to get my hopes up too high and yet I still already feel a bit disappointed. I'm 5 days post op and am still UP 2 lbs from my pre surgery weight. If I'd have lost a few pounds it would make this uncomfortable pain at least feel more worth it but instead I'm feeling a bit glum about it today. :(

I was so sad about it too.... and see others that are about the same time out down a bunch compared to mem I didnt notice anything until I went to put my regular clothes on and holy cow! I probably could go down a size but I like them a little big for now. So keep your chin up it gets better!!!

Hi February Sleeve-ers!!! My surgery was last Monday, 2/18/13 and while I am still new and learning about all of this, I am excited to be on this journey with you!! It's so comforting to know that there are people going through the exact things I'm going through right now. Best of luck to all of you in your weight-loss endeavors!

My surgery went great today! Surgeon said it was a terrific surgery lol. I don't even remember being given the anesthesia or anything. One moment' date=' the anesthetist and his assistants were in the room asking if I was ready, and the next moment I was in recovery. Recovery sucked because of the pain, I couldn't sleep. But all was well once I got back to my room. Walked the halls 3 times, finally peed, doing good![/quote']

Yay! So positive ! I felt like I dying puking up blood ! I'm happy your doing well!

      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.
