Each day has been getting better than the previous day. I don't have the gas pains as much, but every time I eat or sip something my new stomach growls at me with great volume! Today I pushed myself a lil too much by walking with my dog so I'm exhausted!

Blame the noises and gas on the dog. He won't mind.

Don't get discouraged. I'm almost two weeks out and am starting to feel a lot better, sublingual B-12 has helped me with my energy, You'll get there.

Hang in there. I can remember my 1st weeks post-op and my stomach did the same thing. No matter what I drank or how small a bite of food I took, my stomach sounded like a chainsaw dumped into a garbage disposable. It does get better and easier with every passing day.

Keep Pimpin' that Sleeve!

Everyone is different. I'm just over a week post op and have been able to walk 5 miles a day with no problem although today I did wake up with a pain in my side where they pulled my stomach through. I haven't walked my dogs this soon after surgery, and actually just bought a harness for one of them since he pulls. Just take your time, stick with it and you'll do great! I

The first week is the worst, I was able to do so much more with each passing day. The surgery was so successful it was worth the sound effects and discomfort! Good Luck

I was sleeved on Monday. I feel fine when I'm at home. Doing small things cooking and cleaning. Today I went out shopping and I was wiped out after. I needed that reality check that I'm still healing and even though I feel really good, I only had surgery 5 days ago! Take it easy. ????

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
