Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm jealous of all the pain meds you all are on!!! Forget about diarrhea out your asses. I'm loving the diarrhea of the mouth you all get when you're stoned on meds.

I think I'm still a bit away from the losers bench. Just got my pulm function and chest X-ray left. Appointment is March 12th. Hopefully all is well and I'll get a date. I'm hoping you all get better soon. Best of the BMs and liquids to all you sleevers. Can't wait to join you!

You'll get these pain meds soon enough! And they are pretty good. I'm partial to the liquid ones, as they work on the pain faster and better.

But I do wish for some BMs to happen. Hah.

Appt for surgery is the 12th??

Trying to start this off right. A place where I can write whatever whenever. Hope to capture this journey to keep me going for the rest of my life.

This is awesome! Can I pay you to make me one?! I'm dead serious btw.

Need opinions. So had my post op appt with my doc today. They took out 2 of the 3 stitches where the drain was. Since I left the office, I'd say that when it comes to standing up after sitting, I get some level 8-10 pain going on and almost can't stand or walk for about a minute. Should I just assume this is normal after having a decent size hole in my abdomen, then getting 2 of the 3 stitches removed? Or should I call my docs office tomorrow? Cause I've had to take pain meds tonight, where yesterday I only took them at bedtime.

The pain is like, almost like a muscle spasm/things gonna explode from the hole if I use too many muscles and stand up.

I don't like it.

I planned on it. :) just thinking it's cause there's only one stitch left, when there were 2.. Cause it really only started after I got home from that appointment. But it's annoying enough that I've been taking pain meds all night cause I almost can't handle the pain when I stand up. It does go away after a minute or 2 of standing, but still. Ugggg. Ha.

They pulled my drain n didn't stitch me up. It closed on its own. Now, the scar where they took my stomach out catches and hurts Bc they perform an internal stitch deep in the muscle tissue. That one still gets me.

The hole my drain was in had 3 stitches in it. She left them when she pulled the drain. Then the nurse today took 2 of the 3 out of this same incision. This all has to be related, since it didn't hurt a bit until after i got home from this.

At least that's what I'm hoping. I wish I wish wasn't midnight, otherwise I'd call my doctor tonight yet. He gives his patients his personal cell number. But I'm not about to bother him this late. Haha

Well, it's 1:15 and surgery is in 5 hrs 45 min. I cant sleep. Didn't sleep last night either. Maybe I'm just a little anxious! I have my bag packed by the door. I can't believe this is really happening! If you have a chance, send some good vibes or prayers my way please!

Thank you! Not really nervous about the surgery, just some of the possible complications. I'm just ready to wake up post-op and see my fiancé and know that it is over. I've never had surgery before, so I think that is adding to my anxiety!

      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.
