How long are you supposed to wear that thing? I just got home from the hospital. I asked how long and he said "I'll let you know."

That sounds indefinite.

I just came on here to send you a message asking how you are feeling? My surgeon said to wear it for 3 weeks, then after you can wear your own kind if you have them. Not sure if men wear shape wear or not. Lol I sure hope you are feeling ok! :)

I'm feeling pretty good. But hate not being able to stand up. And I can't tell how much of it is this binder, the surgery, or stiffness from being in this position so long. How long till you could stand up straight?

It was about a week before I could stand up strait. I used a walker and it helped a lot with the back strain.

You look amazing! I am really hoping I won't need plastics, but your posts/pictures have really helped me not dread it if it turns out they are needed! :)

How do i look at your gallery pictures? sorry im new and dont know my way around that good lol

You can look a the profile pics on a cell phone but not from the mobile app. You have to be on the full website. Then you just click on someone's avatar and you'll see their profile.

Yes under my picture there is a blue script writing that says view my profile. Once you are in my profile go to gallery. You should be able to see from there! :) good luck!

I started being able to stand up straight about day 3....where it didn't hurt but felt tight, however the doc said to keep walking that way till I saw him again on day 6 post op. so it gives your skin time to stretch out naturally instead of being pulled out.

Any pictures yet?

How did you even get a picture? Did you just take the binder completely off while sanding up?

Yeah. You can take it off every couple of hours so you can get some good deep breaths in. That's when I took mine.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
