Sooo excited! Did anyone have to drink magnesium citrate? OMG! You would think there wouldn't be anything to "clean" out after 10 days of liquids. I'm so ready to go sleep and wake up and get on the road. My prayers will be with everyone getting sleeved tomorrow. God bless!

Woohoo! I'm sleeved! Surgery went great. I've been up walking a ton, the air they put in to inflate the belly has caused me the most discomfort by far. Looking forward to getting all these wires unhooked from me. Hope everyone else is doing well.

I am sleeved! Surgery was 2 hrs because of a huge liver. No gas pain at all maybe because I ended up with a drain? I feel really...normal. I am pretty sleepy though....nap time

hi everyone! hope everyone is having a great time and recovering well! i am 7 days into my pre- op and i have lost 11 pounds. i am doing 3 shakes a day and 80+ ounces of clear fluids. i pee all day! its insane like i feel like im always running to the bathroom with the kiddos. I have 4 days til my surgery is anyone else experiencing irritability and crankiness? every soudn seems louder and smells seems more fragrant. i cook every night for the kids it is torture. last night they wanted to go to the movies so i took them and naturally i hold the youngest's popcorn bc she spills it everytime. the smell of popcorn was tempting me llol. I just learned i could season my broth with is nice but no salt. I am really anxious to just get the surgery oer with and start my healing. i feel like my body is going through such weird changes sometimes im freezing sometimes i feel like im in a suana. but usually always tired and low on patience haha.

good luck everyone!

How is everyone doing? I'm not doing so well at getting in my shakes or liquids. Every sip I take hits my stomach like a ton of bricks. I'm not in much pain, just sore from the air they filled my stomach up with. I'm hosting my daughters Easter egg hunt on Friday so I'm hoping and praying that I'll be feeling much better by then. No regrets so far, but I do look forward to getting to eat food again. I'm on liquids for the next 2 weeks. Anyone else come home with a drain???

Reporting in from the Marriott TJ Mex.

All went very well with surgery and the one other surgery scheduled with me could not have hers done as she didn't loose the req amount of weight!

Oopps accidentally pushed send...

I had a great experience at OCC and having the whole team wait on me hand and foot because I was the only patient was great!!

So I'm sipping and walking and have had no pain, just taking the meds prescribed and doing well.

Went out in the sun today to get a little more Vit D

Hope everyone else is doing well

Rhonda

      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.
