One week post op and I'm down 12 pounds. I was feeling really well today, so I replaced the hallway light fixtures and started painting the hall.

Crazy that two days ago I couldn't get out of bed without pain meds.

I'm feeling good thanks! I have been trying to stay hydrated - that's probably been the toughest thing. I'm surprised that I have little pain - not much gas pain either. I haven't used pain meds since the hospital. How r u doing?

I am glad that you are progressing so well. I am still using my gas x strips. I am still walking a lot. I'm so happy, I broke down today

Took mine off after 3 days but I had 0 pain and no issues I'd say play it by ear unless otherwise told by a doctor

Sent from my iPad using VST

I am in the same boat - no pain and no issues - I so bad want to take it off because its a bit annoying but if I have to keep it on I will. Maybe I should call to find out.

      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. 🤞
