Recommended Posts

Hey all im finally sleeved and i muat say ive had an incredible ride here. Ive had a little pain in my incisions so little i havent even had pain medication. Also my surgeon did an incredible job with taking most if not all the gases. I have not felt anything as far as gas pain goes. I honestly except for the little discomfort in my incisions i feel 100% normal. Im hoping it continues. They gave me nothing today by mouth. Tomorrow they do my leak test and then start to zip Water. Hopefully by Friday i can go home!

That's so great! Mine is scheduled for June 11th, it's very comforting to know your doing so wonderful so soon after surgery. I won't lie, I'm kinda terrified about the surgery part! I hope the rest of your journey is smooth sailing!

Thank you guys for the well wishes i know you all will do great. Yes i was terrified, especially when i got to the OR and thought to myself "wow this is really it, no turning back now" but the anesthesiologist gave me something to relax and told me ill see you in a few minutes and i was out. Didn't feel a thing i think i even had a dream lol. But still doing great. Im off oxygen hopefully ill continue like this.

      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
