Hi I am in S.A. had vs on 16 of April 14. I am 6 weeks out. Life has changed I was doing good til I started on mushy food. Then I could not tell if I ate to much so it is up to me with Portion Control. I thought I would know when from the surgery . Just my luck.

Hey guys. I was sleeve 4-21-14 by Dr. Duperier at Foundation Hospital. All is well except that I have been stalled since I started regular food. Bleh. (Dr. D is dr. Segers partner!)

I am also from San Antonio. I had my surgery(sleeve) in 12/29. At Methodist Speciality and Transplant. I'm on a soft diet and trying new foods. Feel like I'm doing well.

I'm in SA and I was sleeved 08.09.16. I see this is an old thread, maybe some one who got it years ago will reply with their progress?

I was sleeved 7/12at the Nix. So far so good. LxA, how are you doing so far? I lost about 25 lbs the first month. That includes weight loss from pre op diet. I weigh every two weeks. Feeling terrific, no complications and easy recovery thus far. Actually my doctor says I am fully recovered so it's focusing on the post diet for the next several months. From your numbers it seems like you are doing fantastic!

I'm OK 23 lbs down the pass 3 weeks (pre-op diet and now post-op life). No complications bit mild nausea because of gas/acid - indigestion. Apparently it's not usual, but I'm avoiding eating bc of the nausea, fluids are good though. Waiting for tomorrow so I can call my doc to see what kind of antacids I can take.

        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
