I was in a lot of pain for 2 wks. It was horrible to force myself to walk. I get jealous when I hear people say the surgery was nothing lol......I guess everyone is different or I am just a big baby as well :-)

SIX HOURS!!! WOW The car killed me after surgery. I was pretty ok otherwise but the car just made me feel awful. I was off pain meds for a week but at my two week appointment I needed them again.

Good Luck to you! It will get better.

Don't feel bad my pain was minimal but I had no energy to walk much less take a shower. I remember getting out of the shower and just feeling drained. My energy was flat lined! So I didn't walk walk walk. Your probably sleeping a lot because of the pain meds. I didn't really walk much at the hospital the meds kept me out. So I stopped them on day 3 at home.

Everyone's experience is different take your time and heal! :)

      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.
