Surgery was yesterday at 11 am. Went great ! I'm on my way home now. Drinking has been no problem at all. The larger of the incisions is a little uncomfortable understandably so. I'm so excited that I HAVE started my new life path.

Hi Armywife! I had my surgery May 30th and was very swollen in my belly. Luckily a friend had warned me this would happen..she had her surgery in August. She told me not to step on the scales until my 2 week preop appt..she said she gained 17 pounds after surgery and her doctor told her it was from the anesthesia process and the bruising swelling. I was very sore the first day home which was yesterday but mostly because I didn't keep up on my pain meds! Now I know better ...I talked with the nurse yesterday and she said pain control is very important..also the walking helps get the gas moving around so it can be released. Hang in there, you will be much better by the time your husband is home. Also I have heard the 3rd day is the worst. How are you doing with your Water?

Hey Mami! Glad to hear from you! Sorrynaboutnthe swelling but glad it is better. When did you get home? Today is the best day by far for me. I'm having trouble drinking the Protein shakes ...so heavy . I'm going to try some Soup broth that has Protein in it today and see how that goes. Can you believe we 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. 🤞

      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.
