No issues or complications!



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on Dec 30. I had no pain no gas no discomfort at all!! Anesthesia was my only issue. Once that was out of my system, it was like I had no surgery!! I can drink as much Water as I want with no discomfort. I am taking 85 grams of Protein per day, Wondering if the docs really performed surgery on me.....

Anyone else have it this easy or am I lucky? I'm starting to get concerned about no restrictions...

Lucky, I thought the same but found out the hard way. It was almost too good to be true! Be cautious and follow plan!

I did not have complications from my surgery and was able to take large swallows without any problems. However, I would suggest you slow down a little. You are newly sleeved and your body needs time to heal. Follow your doctors plan. As for the restrictions...you will start to feel the sleeve when you start eating solid foods.

Hi. We should be buddies on our progress since my surgery was December 30. Like you, I have no problem at all and I can drink anything with no problem. I hope it will continue this way once we start soli food etc. Have you lost any lbs?

I too had surgery on Dec. 30- but I have had a few problems here and there. The first few days I had horrible gas pains and vomited about once a day. Then after day 3 I have been great. I do feel restriction sometimes after eating Jello. I can drink liquid with no issue. Today, i began full liquid. I was a bit nervous at first but had no issues. So far, I've lost 16lbs since the day of surgery. :)

      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
