Yesterday was the day!! I love my surgeon, Dr. Grossbard. The procedure went off without a hitch! I'm feeling a little sore, but I'm making sure I keep walking. I have a Jack Russell and a three year old that keeps me moving!! Just wondering how everyone else felt the day after? I'm just so happy and excited about my journey I may be ignoring some of the pain!

Congratulations on making the best decision you can to change your life forever...NOW the fun starts....hang in there, don't get discouraged.....

As far as the day after, I was perfectly happy to to become one with my lazy boy recliner with a comforter, in front of the flat screen, sip chicken broth and Water, and take my pain meds on a regular schedule (if I needed them or not) untill they were all gone....after 3 days of that I started to climb the walls and had to get up and get out....

A little sore and not too hungry...and trying to follow all the new rules and drink enough.

I was a bit teary and had some "buyers remorse" and even was asking myself what did I do to myself, did I make a mistake. My supportive hubby kept reassuring me it was the right decision and all will be alright.

Well, 2 1/2 mos later, no fills to date, eating everything I want without any deprivation, walking, listening to my band, and still learning to walk away from a plate with food still on it and realizing the world won't collapse because of it...

I am 55 lbs down and feeling SO good about myself....

Congrats to you on your new journey...wishing you all the best...keep us posted!

I have made sure to keep moving, the longer I stay still, the worse it hurts to get up! I'm struggling to get enough Water down, but I'm trying. I have some broth warming now and I can't wait to sip some! Thanks for sharing stories and th encouraging words!

I was terrible the day after my mom called me said I scared her I sounded weak, well I just had surgery. As a matter of fact I was on the couch sitting up with my feet propped up. Four days. I admit I don't handle pain well so I couldn't breath past it for nearly a week. Quite the experience but one I'd gladly repeat if necessary.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
