Sleeve this morning!



Recommended Posts

Ok I'm ready. I am finally registered and I'm sitting in the waiting room holding my little slip of paper that says I'm number 10.

Surgeries start at 7:30 and mine will be the 3rd one sooo I'm gonna be here awhile I think. I can take a good amount of pain so hopefully it won't be too bad. ..... Any words of wisdom?

Yes!!! The pain will be 10 times less than you expect!!! Relax. The unknown is what is scary. I am 67 and used 1 dose of pain medicine at home. I was in the grocery store 4 days after surgery, and I was shopping 2 hours, 2 weeks after surgery. I have not slowed down since. I have so much energy and finally out of the chair I had slumped in for the past year. Loving life again!!!!! Best wishes!!!! First day of the best of your life lol!

Good luck, you will be fine. Everyone is different when it comes to pain. I was in sooo much pain afterwards but by day six I stop my pain meds. Keep your eyes on the bigger picture...better life, and a healthier you.

      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.
