Recommended Posts

I had my VSG done one week ago from yesterday. I did my first weigh in today and I've already lost 16 pounds! I am so excited. My knees already hurt less and so does my back.

Despite the hard diet and lack of energy at times I can't wait for all the good things that are going to come!

Congratulations! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Thank you for posting such a positive statement for all of us yet to have our surgery! I know there's chances of complications and not everyone has smooth sailing but you have given me hope none the less!

To anyone out there planning on having VSG done, all I can say is DO IT!!!! I have no regrets! I wish I would have done this years ago. Even though I'm tired at times, I'm still doing more now than before my surgery which was 8 days ago. I'm sleeping better, my thinking is clearer, and my overall attitude is positive! I know it's still a bumpy road ahead, but a road I'm glad to be on!

Hello, I will be one week out on Monday. So excited for your success, I am hoping for the same. I am fighting the NO energy beast right now and am really struggling. I am also having some discomfort/pain with everything I swallow (only liquids, but it doesn't matter if it is Water, broth, or whatever) but I am holding on to "this too shall pass". I look forward to seeing how our progress continues.

Congrats, and I agree. Nap attacks are common in the first week or two, but it gets better. A month and a half later, I was working on a fence with a power-washer today. I may have tired out a little to quickly, but I guarantee I feel better than I did before my sleeve.

Hi I'm 7 days post op and feel great! I've been out and about the last two days and ready for work! I do get tired but I feel good! It does hurt when I swallow especially at the beginning but as each day passes it has almost gone away. Each day does get better trust me. Just take it one day at a time and trust in God he will take care of you!

Congrats on your success and recovery. I have the vsg on the 19th. I am having the food funeral this weekend but in my head I feel ready. My body hurts and I am too young to go on like this and I really believe nothing could taste as good as being healthy and thinner will feel. :)

I am 7 weeks out and would not change having my sleeve done for the world. I feel better. I think better. I have a better attitude. Life is good. If you're thinking about having this surgery….do it! It's the best thing I've ever done of myself. Happy Losing!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
