Just got out of the hospital and on my way home now. Just a speedy (hopefully) 2 hour drive. I will have to catch up on the post-op thread tomorrow, in between catching up on Dexter. :) I ate some cream of wheat and pudding in the hospital, did alright. Kind of felt like crap after eating a couple tiny bites. I will have to really figure out where my full feeling is.

I was sleeved on Monday the 25th! I came out of surgery by 10am and I was walking by 3pm! I am home now and I am having a lot more gas pain! The gas just rumbles around my chest an abdomen but I don't see a BM coming anytime soon, I'm just trying to walk it out! I've read that the first 5-7 days are the hardest so I'm just trying to push through! Stay strong and focused! Just think about 2-3 months down the road!!

Hope all is going well for y'all!!

My surgeon didn't let me leave the hospital until I had some good bowel movements. That included a depository and that didn't work much so the edema did the trick. I literally felt violated lol

That was the hardest thing for me too. I took stool softner and benefiber (beware ot becomes explosive) but man it was a relief! There is light at the end of the tunnel!

      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.
