I was sleeved on 3-20 and truthfully I was surprised by how much pain I was in! I was supposed to leave the hospital yesterday, but due to the fact that it hurts to swallow everything I have to stay an extra 1-2 more days. Please tell me it gets easier!

I was sleeved on 3/21 & I get put of the hospital today. My stomach is soooo sore. Like I just did 1000 crunches but it seems to be getting slightly better.

I was also sleeved on 3/20. I left the hospital on 3/21. Yesterday was really bad with pain. Today seems better. I'm able to get some of the gas out of the bottom end better which seems to have helped me with feeling bloated and uncomfortable. My incisions are less painful. I will feel a million times better after my follow up on Thursday and I get these sticker things off that they put over the incisions. I really would love to just sit in a warm tub.

The strangest thing I have been dealing with is being freezing. I am one of those always warm people. I liked having the room at 68 at all times. Since coming home, I am always shivering, and always feel cold.

I was band to VSG on 3/20 also in NYC. I came home yesterday, and the only "pain" problem i"ve had is the gas. I had a bowel movement this AM which I'm hoping will help.

But I can say that I have been feeling better as each day goes by. The common theme seems to be quick recovery once the surgery is done, so hand in there!!!

      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.
