Hi Everyone..

Thanks for the well wishes! Everything went well, we had a little delay, but I was sleeved early afternoon. It was a long night, but the center has these amazing recliners so I never touched the bed. The nurses say that most folks stay in the recliners. That being said I am looking forward to going home to my comfortable bed and recliner :-D

I was wondering, after going without food from midnight how I would feel when I woke up, would I be starving? Well I have been working on the same bottle of Water all night, 16 oz bottle and 3 ounces to go. .. they gave me chicken broth, I think I have had about 2 tblspoons, and SF Jello cup, I have eaten about a Tblspn, keep in mind these measurements span the whole afternoon and last night, all tiny sips and dribbles...

I will have work hard when I am off IV fluids to ensure I get my 6 oz at home!

I am feeling ok, I am still struggling to get my Clear liquids in, tiny sips are so hard! You feel like you are guzzling, swallowing air, but you have only accomplished less than ounce in 5 sips. I had an issue where my arms were very sore, not the gas shoulder pain, but sore muscles in every muscle in my arms, the Doc said it was likely an anathesia thing, that I tensed up before the relaxation meds kicked in. But my arms feel much better today. Otherwise my tummy feels about as good as you would expect, the liquid pain meds are working for me.

Today I want to walk more, I have been doing turns about the yard and around the house, but maybe today we can walk down the street for a little but longer walk.

      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.
