I don't know about you but my feet, ankles and legs swell so bad. I wonder if any of you have this problem and if after the surgery the swelling went down?

Surgery date 4/18/13 @ 7:30 am

So, did any one elses surgeon try to get them to change from RNY to the sleeve? My doctor seemed quite persistent, though said the choice was mine, and it didn't seem to bother him that I choose the RNY. He kept going on about doing a fabulous single incesion through the belly button, but seriously, I have a road-map on my stomach from 3 pregnancies, so regardless of how much weight I lose, I will never be showing my bare stomach in public. I am wondering if maybe he just wanted more practice doing the single incesion, lol.

No...in fact he recommended against the sleeve for me and suggested RNY

Ok so i think my dr is checking to see if i will have a heart attack or to make sure i REALLY want the bypass ...after being devastated crying hysterical running out the door with my 2 yr old to drive an hr away to see him he agrees now to do tge surgery on tuesday i guess it was a miscommunication with his staff and the pulmonologist office

Glad it worked out

I haven't eaten anything yet. Just not hungry. I'm passing so much Fluid in my drains right now, and barely passed any urine this morning. That was the first time passing since the morning of surgery. About to puree eggs and ham how lovely.but i feel fine still. Well see how breakfast goes.

Not having issues with the taste of fluids. Water tastes pretty darn good for the moment. But you never know things can change.

      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. 🤞
