Recommended Posts

Well I'm sitting in my hospital room writing this with the grogginess of the pain meds but the biggest smile ever! I'm so happy my new journey has began ! Pain and nausea coming out of surgery was HELL! But I burped about 10 times and then continually punched my pain med button! Now that I'm controlling my pain its not so bad and I'm so excited for the rest of my life!!

Hey girl hey!!! I just got sleeved also and I am TOO excited! Sorry to hear about ur pain tho, I haven't had much at all, I guess because they put me directly on the pain meds. But hang in girly, and just remember that the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single foot step. And u will be successful, even if that foot step is gassy and painful! Lol ;-)

After the first 4 to 6 weeks girls you will be so happy you will not be able to stand it! The energy level goes up and the weight goes down and you realize you have a better relationship with people then food! food the buddy is now food the glad to see you but my world no longer revolves around you! It is my life and I am taking it back to live it to the fullest!

Well ladies its day 4 after surgery! Things have finally started to work out! Today has been the best day so far! I actually woke up with an appetite! Had a small Protein Shake and drank about 3/4 cup and kept it down with NO NAUSEA! Yesterday I threw up 4 times! Not fun with a newly stapled stomach and incisions! I had to call the doctors office to have them prescribe some anti nausea meds and switch me from the liquid pain meds to a smaller pill! This I think made a huge difference! For anyone who is about to go through this please be prepared for the few rough days after being discharged. I don't want to try and sugar coat any of this because you need to be mentally prepared for the worst! Ok enough rambling!

How did the small pill go down? I'm not a fan of liquid meds.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
