How did your surgery go? I'm scheduled for the 28th.

It went perfect, I was up and walking with out any help The one thing that amazed me was I wasnt in near as much pain as I thought I would be I know I had the pump and I did use it but I still thought it would be more painful. While in hospital i didnt eat or drink hardly anything at all. been home 4 days now still not where i need to be as liquids go but I will get there, ive noticed i seem to be increasing by about 8 oz a day so today im shooting for 48 oz i get all my Protein within my first 32 oz to make sure i get it all in. I get my tube out on Tuesday and by the way you will or at least I did gain weight due to all the fluids they pump in you I gained 11 pounds while there. ..Good Luck To You!!

I had my sleeve Sept 16! Recovery is going better then I even imagined! I previously had the lap band placed January 2009 & had to have removed May 2013 due to slippage. The sleeve has been ten times easier surgery/recovery then my band. My surgery was also more invasive due to had to remove scar tissue that was caused from band placement/slippage/removal.

I was sleeved on the 10th.... And have been off pain meds for a week... No nausea at all... And my stomach is just about healed. Still on liquids for another day... Then I start puréed on Tuesday... Before I had the surgery I was all worked up and nervous but now that it's said and done I know it was not bad at all. Try and get some anti nausea meds from the doctor to take before and after surgery it helps. The worst part of the entire thing was the pre op diet for 2 days before... You have to drink plenty of Clear Liquids in order to feel full. Good luck to everyone on this journey you can do it!

      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.
