Hey Everyone. Things went well yesterday. I went to surgery at 10am and was in my room by 2. No complications. I do have gas pains but they are not too bad. I had mt first meal today. broth grape juice SF popsicle and Water. I've only sipped a lil. So far so good. Should be able to go home tomorrow. Praying things go well for you tomorrow.

I didn't hurt much yesterday but I overdid it today and am hurting now. My sleep apnea kept me here. Or at 68 and BP just made it over 100/60. I hope everyone else is doing good.

Surgery went well Monday -- i went home Tue night. I did have quite a lot of has pain, up high under my sternum and haven't felt very good.

The morphine caused a rash so now I'm on some other pain med -- I can tolerate Water and beef broth, I guess I'll try s//free Popsicles. Kinda feel like the flu.

Hey seattleslew. I know how you feel. I have that same pain today which I didnt hace yesterday. Im hoping it's because I slept thru a dose of meds last night. Just finished taking some meds. They took me off morphine on Monday. Whatever they been giving last longer than morphine it just takes a lil longer to kuck in. Should be going home today

Just got home from the hospital. Had to stay an extra night because of pain and blood pressure. Sore but doing ok. Never had high blood pressure before so not sure where that came from, but it came back down so all is well.

Congratulations BrendyMom! I was nervous going home in pain but waking up in my own bed made me feel better And walking/sitting up really helped the gas. Hard to eat/drink 3-4 ounces every hour - but my husband is being a good watchdog! I made myself a chart and Water tally record so I can keep myself on track. Still pretty sore and bloated though I'm getting around great! Welcome home!!

      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.
