Recommended Posts

I'm Oct 11th also in Pontiac MI... I had an 8 day preop diet.

Surgery isn't till 2 PM and i'm not supposed to eat or drink after midnight... think that it's going to be rough.

I'm nervous and excited.

Me too. I had to stop drinking my shakes at 4 PM today and am freaking myself out over not being able to have the Protein shakes. Too funny. Healthy surgery to you and I will check in when I'm awake.

How are all the October 11th sleevers doing?

Here is my checkin...

My surgery was at 7 am Friday and I was discharged Saturday at 11 am.

I overall feel great, liquids going down good. I have 5 incisions (only the one that my tummy was pulled through hurts). My doctor isn't concerned with me getting my Protein in first week, only supposed to focus on getting enough liquids. I didn't have a drain or a catheter.

I am feeling a bit restless, trying to walk around lots. I could probably go back to work in a few days.

I was sleeved on the 11th. Stayed in the hospital 2 nights, it was part of the package. I feel really well and pain is minimal and only present when getting up, etc. I hope all the 11th sleevers are doing as well.

I was sleeved on Friday at 2:00pm. The first day wasn't bad. I was really sore about 24-36 hrs after surgery. Just kept making myself move. Never really had much gas pain.

Went home yesterday. Pain isn't bad. Any sip of anything causes a series of grumbles.

Was really surprised by the fact that a sip is filling my entire stomach.

Hello sleevers, I was the few who became very sick and nauseous for four days. Rough period but today I feel like a new person. I'm like you and the only place that hurts is where my stomach came through - hasta la vista tummy! I still have some of the gas from surgery but I'm walking it out. I'm so happy I did it!

      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. 🤞
