I just had my sleeve on the 9th, I got out of hospital on the 11th. Still trying to work through the quirks, but would be happy to answer any questions

Hello,

Congrats :-). Describe the pain if any? Did you require a drain and catheter? Who was your surgeon? Where was your procedure performed? How do you feel now happy, relieved, etc?

Thanks:-)

The pain is sharp right on my breast bone, I had a hernia repair right below my breast bone, so that and where they pull the stomach out at hurts the worst. My left shoulder feels like I pulled it, but they say its trapped.gas, I keep ice on it.

I did not have a drain, thank goodness, my surgeon was Dr. Anwar and I was at st Francis hospital in federal way, WA.

It's slow going right now, I'm glad to be home, and I'm relieved the worst part is over, I had a hard time post op, so I had to stay an extra day, but I don't feel near as bad now, every day gets easier, I walk around a lot and I'm constantly taking small sipps of Water and eating hello, both are soothing to me, and my body tells me and reminds me to take very small sips and very small bites, I have found there is a spot in my esophagas that is tight so, if its much going thru there it hurts until it gets past that spot, prolly due to where they fixed the hernia, other than that, I'm doing alright. Hope that helps you.

      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. 🤞
