What is the strangest, weirdest, or most unexpected thing to happen to you after having the sleeve? I'm looking forward to reading about peoples experiences. :D No such thing as TMI here either!

I just posted about the relief of the revisit.

I just read it! That sounds like a struggle. Hope you are intolerable to the bad stuff and love the good stuff!

Ok...here it goes:

Well, I've never had a problem with Constipation. I do now! Not really weird or strange but a pain in the butt! (literally)

Also, my libido is off the charts!!! I can't get enough!

I guess with all the energy I have since I'm not dragging around all that extra weight sex is fun again!

I got engaged in February so I guess the whole libido thing is working for both of us!

Probably the weirdest thing I've noticed is that my butt cheeks don't touch as much as they used to. I don't really know how to explain this. Like before, at my heaviest, I really had to work my hand in there in the shower to properly clean myself & also after using the restroom. It's not an issue anymore, at all.

:)

Hey more of a sex drive, nice perk! I hope that happens to me. My lack of interest is a part of what messed up my marriage. (Just separated from my wife of almost 6 years)

Buttcheeks...lol I think to fully understand I just need to experience it.

Congrats on your engagement!!!!

I can't sleep on my belly anymore. Something in my middle wakes me up. My husband witnessed it a few times, he said I had something that sounded like a belch, but wasn't a belch came out of my mouth. I suspect it has something to do with acid. That and the sounds my stomach makes at night wakes me and my husband up - no lie.

The weirdest? I've always hated to sleep/lay on my stomach but after surgery (and when I came home) the pressure from laying on my stomach feels good.

I'm also craving stuff I normally don't like (like orange juice and cabbage)

That sounds weird! Have you tried Gas-x before bed? Or something to give it before it forms. I'm a big tummy sleeper so that would be lame.

Weird cravings, that will be interesting. Maybe that means you're missing a specific Vitamin and that is your body trying to get it?

maybe but Orange juice is the one thing I crave when I'm sick/don't feel good or about to start my period. as for the cabbage, It does have a lot of Vitamin C (as does oj) so maybe that's it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
