Welcome! This site has been my savior through before, during, and after surgery! Check the post op threads for a July group as well. Going through the post op time with a group of people who had their surgeries at the same time will help. You will walk through the phases with others "in your shoes". Best wishes to you!

Hi preopmano. I just literally hit my 1 week post op mark today :-). Everything is going good so far. After surgery I wasn't in too much pain. I do have a lot of gas pain. I also have to give myself lovenox injections everyday (they suck). You will do fine. I just try to remember that the pain that I'm going through right now is temporary and things will get better in the future. Looking forward to shopping! ! Lol

I have not experienced any depression. I'm never hungry. After like 3 days of doing my preop diet I began to not feel hungry and its been the same since.

How did you prepare for the post op lifestyle. . How much did you weigh and how much did you loose if you don't mind me asking? Do you have to work out everyday now that ypu had the surgery. . Do you have more energy

      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
