Yes, the surgery helps ...as a matter of fact I had issues with it prior to surgery and now I have no problems at all! I would wet myself sometimes and it wouldnt be because I sneezed or laughed...it was just uncontrollable. Now I am "dry" and happy!! I noticed a difference within a week of surgery, not sure if its because the weight was coming off....or because I dont drink sodas and tea.

now this would be a perk i wasn't even expecting. I have been wearing "protection" for so long, I don't think I would know how to get dressed without adding a pad to my underwear. Cough, sneeze, laugh you name it . Coughing is the worst.

I'm 53 and have to cross my legs when I sneeze or cough. I think incontinence comes with age too not only the weight thing. I also have a hard time "olding it" when I am laughing really hard too - LOL I am 6 months post op and down to 171 and have not seen any difference, it was the same when I was 150 too... I think it just may be me and gettin' old :(

I think the same will be for me. It might have been weight a long time ago, now I think it is just age. They don't have a surgery for this age thing, lol.

LOL... I don't know if they have surgery for but I know there are vaginal exercises you can do to "hold" it !!! But when I get laughing I lose all control. Once I slipped and fell on my way to the bathroom and when I hit the floor I pee'd LOL.... I am very careful now :)

It does get better-some people have resolution of incontinence. And, yes, there is surgery that can correct it.

I had problems with it...three kids and almost 50 years old. It's much better now tho.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
