I was sleeved on 9/16. The surgery went well and although diagnosis in 09 with a hiatel hernia he found no evidence of it. My sugar went up to 191 and potassium too low. Due to the extreme gas pain and being taken off the med pump, I did not take in enough liquids today on my own, so one more day in the hospital. I am sure I will feel better tomorrow. I have been walking, but need to do more. The gas and right side pain is the worse!

The gas is hard for the first few days but its normal with any laparoscopic surgery. You have a positive attitude and that helps a lot!

I do understand the issue with the gas. I did walk in the hospital but once I got home I used gas-x strips along with walking and it helped so much. It will get so much better. 3 weeks out.

That is good to know. I expected the gas pain, but I forgot how painful it can get. My incisions on my right side is very painful, but the rest are fine.

      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. 🤞
