Recommended Posts

So today was the day. It's finally here. I was so beyond nervous. I woke up from surgery completely sore and in pain. It hurt so bad I wanted to cry. A few hours later and I'm feeling a bit better. I've been able to sip water' date=' I have no appetite at all. Make sure to bring Chapstick to the hospital!!! It's a must!!! Im scheduled to go home tomorrow. I'm so excited that my day finally came. I'm looking forward to all the positive changes that are to come. How's everyone else feeling after their surgery? [/quote']

Feel better. I am scheduled for 10/25.

It's funny. I read tons, I took the class, but I didn't realize how I would feel after the surgery. I'm a little sad. I know it's only been a few days but I don't like being in pain or not being able to do anything. At least I can get a little more liquids in!!!

My surgery got changed to 11/1. I am in Charlotte, NC. I am looking forward to the surgery. I've been feeling very emotion the last day or two. I guess that is normal. I am excited and nervous.

So day 2... Wow feel like I got hit by a truck. Discharged home. My throat is killing me from the tube they put down it for the anesthesia. My Dr. told me I had a hernia and that it was very common... Just my luck!!! I know this will be worth it. But I can't wait til I feel better. :)

I was sleeved on 10/3 and I feel the same way. Are you having the spasms too? My Dr gave me a prescription for the spasms and boy does it help. I've read that usually after the 4th day, we will feel much better. I sure hope so!!

Spasms? Like muscle spasms? No not that I've noticed. Today I woke up feeling sore but soooo much better. I may go for a walk this evening. When it's not 93 degrees outside. I'm sure you will feel better soon. I didn't realize how bad I'd feel after surgery. Every part of my body hurt. But I'm feeling better. My only issue is I'm getting hungry and it's hard to get my Protein in. The shakes are hard for me to drink.

I haven't noticed any spasms. I'm feeling much better today. Still sore and having gas issues, but today's the best I've felt. I hope you start to feel better soon!!!

      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.
