I'm sure there are a lot of people who have done the 5 day pouch test. Can anyone help me, pretty please!

The pouch test is mostly for bypass patients...sleeves don't have pouch's

I don't advocate you doing this at all...however I do tons of research and it was pretty simple to find.

Here's another one that you might consider

Again, I am not an advocate of these types of gimmicks, I feel that the best way to lose the weight is stick to a healthy and balanced diet, restrict processed carbs and exercise to the point of raising the resting heart rate, for at least 20-30 minutes a day. That works for me, maybe not for everyone. YMMV.

I've never heard of it for this surgery, so I would talk to your dr to find out exactly what you are supposed to be doing.

      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. 🤞
