Hello everyone,

I've been reading this forum for a few weeks and I cannot thank you guys enough. Well, tomorrow morning at 7:30 I have to report to the hospital for surgery. I just packed my bag with items that I will need. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Hope everything will be ok. Please everyone keep me in your prayers.

Hi everyone

All went well, thank you. In my room resting until they tell me its ok to go for a walk. Pain is not so bad now. But after surgery in recovery room I wanted to die. Pain in my chest, back...worst than having gald bladder removed. Thank you for all the prayers and support. I am so hungry, just having ice chips.

I'm heading home today. I miss my bed. Went in on July 3rd leaving on July 5th. Starved for two days. This morning they gave me hello, chicken broth and crystal light. I'm still in pain.

Thanks for caring. I am in my bed taking Lortab elixir for pain and Protonix for gas. So far so good. It's getting up from the bed that is a killer.

Hi Ellody,

I had my surgery on Monday so I'm a day ahead of you. I feel you on the recovery room pains...OMG!!!! Thank goodness for morphine pumps! I feel a little better today, only taking the elixer in the morning and at night to help me sleep. I have belched my head off but seems to be getting better. I don't have a drain, do you? Thanks goodness, I was dreading the removal. My doctor does a three week clear liquid diet after so all I am getting is sf Jello, sf popsicles, Water, G2 and crystal light. It all tastes way too sweet to me but I'm getting it down! Good Luck to you

      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.
