Hi all, I had my on 11/11 too. Other than a terrible Migraine, which I had before going into surgery, I felt great. I have been great since. Get tired some, but no problems. Getting plenty of fluids and my minimum Protein.

Today started full liquids, but until just a few minutes ago (9 p.m.), I have just had Clear Liquids. Took my kids to the park, so they could play, and I could walk the trails.

Whew! Hi, My Fellow Sleevers! I was sleeved on 11-11-13! Veteran's Day, Yay! :) My surgery went well. I was a little nervous. I'm 5 days Post-Op...No problems so far...I have some mild pain around my incision sites...I'm keeping my fluids @ a lil more than 66oz a day... :) I should be moving to pureed next week (my Post-Op appt) I'm walking about an hour or more a day...I rarely have gas pains...If I do, my Doctor gave me the Okay (please follow your Doctor's instructions) to take Gas X chewables...I use a heating pad @ night, I'm using my Spirometer religiously :), and I have a great ab binder (from my Doctor) to hold my stomach in place for coughing, positioning myself for sleep, etc...Overall, no complications... I'm feeling blessed & lucky...I hope all my 11/11 buddies are doing well.... Good luck to all the Pre-Op & Post-Op Sleevers... This is one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself! I'm ready for the good. ..the bad, and,.. the ugly! Negativity doesn't live on this block anymore!!! :) Good Night... I'll talk to yall soon...♥tammethick♥...

I am new to this forum, still learning my way around. My surgery is scheduled for the 20th at Northside in Atlanta. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I would like to join the secret FB but cannot seem to figure out out to send my contact info.

That's weird greersc.. haven't had that issue with any others..I'm very sorry.. it shouldn't have done that..i will look into it...now when you say your Facebook page do you mean your home page or your profile page... because you can see group posts on your home page, but others on your friends list do not see them..they will see posts from their own groups on their home page that you don't see...?

      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.
