I have lost 12lbs 4 days after surgery.. I haven't weighted myself the last two days.......... I feel great.......... Just little tired after busy day.......... So far it hasn't been hard like some of the others I have read............... My period is worse then this.......... I get some gas pain but the second I burp it's gone...... My only issue is the runny stool.... I'm putting heavy overnight pads in my underwear............ My only regret is that I waited so long to get it done... Hehe ...... Keep the questions coming........ Lol

Thanks for the encouragement. I am getting sleeved on 12/2 and wasn't too sure about what to expect the first few days after surgery.

Hi imgood hope all is going well for you now. I have two days to go and I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't nervous. I've always been a big baby when it comes to pain so thank goodness for pain meds. How are you after your surgery? I live in California (Napa Valley) but I'll bet Florida is a lot warmer right now. Lucky you.

You'll be fine. The perpetration that comes with the sleeve is life long so your allow to be a big baby. Lol. My pain meds are a blessing! Oh yes the Florida weather is wonderful! Speedy recovery to you.

You were right on. I just returned from the hospital today and everything went well. Funny thing is that the difficult part was not the surgery, but for me it was the hospital protocol (waking you up at all hour, having to keep on top of them to be released, etc. The pain meds take away any real discomfort. On the scale of 1 to 10, I really didn't get over a four. I'm really excited that my blood sugar has dropped so much already that it looks like I won't have to continue with insulin.

      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.
