Hi Sparklette, I'm happy to hear that mine is sooo bad I'm up twice a night to take something for it. How long after your surgery did it start going away?

Oh yes. I was used to consistant heartburn. When I woke up the first thing I noticed was that my esophagus wasnt on fire.

Then I realized that I had been stabbed and rearranged and promptly demanded pain meds. Lol

Thank you both for ur replies. I'm still kinda nervous about surgery but so excited to have some help getting down to a healthy weight. My 4 year old tells me she wants me only a little chubby not alot chubby. And she wants to go on the rides with me at Disneyland.

I too cant wait to go on rides with my boys. Maybe in another month I can. As far as the heartburn goes it is completely gone. That was a blessing in itself. Its 9 weeks today and down 71. I started playing racquetball again. Keep your head up and you will never look back. Good luck too you ! Hw 340 cw 269

My surgery was on May 17th! I have lost about 14lbs since surgery. I had a stall on week three and part of week 4. I was down a lb this morning so I'm hoping I'm done with the stall. I am not regretting my decision at all! I was not nervous at the hospital at all. I knew this would be the best thing ever!! I lost 32lbs before surgery and now I have lost 47 total. Loving life and feeling great, exercising and eating tiny portions!!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
