Had the operation this morning. All went very well and I am watching the NCAA Tournament in my room. I should get out of the hospital tomorrow around noon.

Few notes...

First surgery ever. It wasn't anywhere as bad as i thought it would be. It went so smoothly.

I met a girl. Her name is Morphine. She was been great but I am thinking about breaking off with her soon. I think we both knew this would not be long term.

The notes on here about what to bring were amazing and very helpful.

Finally...I am sooooo EXCITED!!!!

Thanks Kirk! I recognize you from Youtube. Only seems to be a few men posting on Youtube about VSG. Def a source of inspiration dude!

feeling great today! should be going home in a couple of hours. slept really well last night. only scary part was arriving at the hospital you until I went under in the operating room. I am pretty sure that was just the fear of the unknown getting the best of meme, as I have never had surgery before. Pain level ha been very tolerable.

This has been a great experience!

I am convinced that this is the best decision I have ever made for myself

      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.
