I got sleeved Tuesday morning! It went smooth. I was scared mostly about the IV. I was so scared I was shaking and the anesthesiologist tried to put it in my wrist and it busted my vein.. Blood everywhere! Eek! Then she put a new one in my arm which worked fine! I couldn't pee to save my life.. I finally did after I had my IV etc in. Surgery went smooth and day 1 in the hospital was a breeze! Day 2 I had a little more pain. My IV leaked and my arm/hand got really swollen/ filled with Fluid. The chocolate 'oh yeah' little shots weren't going down great (I had like heartburn from all my swelling)

So they gave me Isopure it was this grape drink with 40 grams of protein! That worked sooooo much better for me! I had a nose bleed late last night and had to cough up blood! Coughing HURTS but so does laughing and I did that quite a bit too! I got released today.. Free at last, free at last! I feel like I can move without an IV in! I'm really happy with getting this! And although day 2 was hard, I'm having a great day 3! Good luck to y'all!! Just think this time next summer a possible bikini or at least tankini! :)

      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. 🤞
