First Post - Revised Sept. 1st



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. :-)

My Story:

After being sleeved on 8/12/13, I had complications with nonstop vomiting. No matter what I ate or drank, it would get stuck and come right back up. A balloon dilation, 2 surgeries, and after being hospitalized for 2 weeks, I was finally revised to RNY last Sunday morning.

Even though this wasn't my initial plan, I'm still upbeat and looking forward to dropping these pounds!!! *Whoop*

Good luck to you all!!! ;-)

HW: 317

Pre-Op: 298

First Surgery Date: 289

CW: 283

Goal: 170

Totally agree with soccermomma73, you do deserve a break, so sleeve2RNY keep that positive attitude you are an inspiration to those of us that are having surgery. Just keep us posted and how you are doing.

I surely will! Unfortunately, I had to be apart of the small percent of WLS community to have complications. Its just a few extra bumps in the road.

That's great! We have to keep in touch. I feel fine for the most part. I had pain on my left side, but regular Tylenol helps with that. I'm fine with getting my liquids in...I'm just having trouble getting in Protein. But, it's getting easier.

How are you feeling?

I"m tired all the time. And I find I have to move slower than normal. I'm also taking tylenol to help with incisional pain and it helps.

As for eating, I've been on clear fluids all along. But as of an hour ago, i've started experimenting with my first Protein shake. I want to start incorporating full liquids and thicker Soups into my diet. I don't really have any issues with drinking Water which is great.

And yes we absolutely have to keep in touch.

      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. 🤞
