I felt a little sore but not really that bad. I slept a lot the first night. I think the worst part for me was how dry my mouth was. My tongue felt like a piece of sandpaper in my mouth...LOL. I just kept sipping on Water ,eating ice cubes, a little mouth spray and a few bites of Jello seem to help. Everyday gets so much better I am about 4 days out now. I even went out shopping today To the GNC store ....I smelled lots of good smelling food out there but all I could do was keep thinking about how great I am going to feel at my daughters wedding June 3 in Maui! And how good it feels knowing that my clothes are going to get loser instead of tighter!!!! This operation is giving me a chance of a life I have always dreamed of...NO more Lane Bryant!!!!... Good luck to you Cupcake

I had my sleeve with Dr. Jacobs also, he is amazing!!! I really did not any any pain whatsoever only mild gas discomfort after surgery, when I woke up the following day I didn't feel any type of discomfort. Great experience. Good luck on your journey!

      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. 🤞
