The main incision takes about 14 days to heal. The best thing to do to is walk around as much as possible! Make sure you stay hydrated! I am 5 months out and feel amazing. It gets easier, I promise you!

Hi mitz I'm doing better each day and today I had my first bowel movement. It's actually funny how I feel so close to everyone on here that I keep talking about passing gas and bowel movements lol. It is a difficult process and don't let anyone tell you differently. Just keep your goal in mind and you will do fine.

I'm suppose to get the surgery done with robotics; is that how you was done or was it done the old way?

Lego how are you doing with fluids ? Today I had 3 oz of orange sugar free Jello 3oz beef broth and 3 oz chicken broth for dinner. Water was making me feel nausea but I've been getting my water in by sucking on ice cubes

I could only tolerate water and pop cycles at first, Your body will let you know when it is safe to drink more. I am now starting on reduced fat cream Soups, milk and broth. I am trying to maintain my Protein levels. Im still weak because I know I have not consumed enough protein.

      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. 🤞
