I have three questions concerning the sleeve



Recommended Posts

1-). The stuck feeling that people talk about, is that usually from not chewing food enough?

2-) What's up with some people having rapid heart rate after surgery?

3-). I hear some people having so much energy after surgery and some feel so weak, any insight?

1. In my case, yes, or eating too fast.

2. panic attack possibly. Nervousness. We never experienced this and I don't see it mentioned much.

3. I am 67 and felt fantastic and shopped 2 and 5 days post op. Can only speak for me and my hubby.

Good luck!

1) yes

2) can be many reaons: scared, nervous, pain. For me I didn't have any issue

3) depends on your pain level, how you heal etc. for me I was at the store 3 days later but 5 days out after trying to do to much with my 3 year old I was feel week.

1) The only time I've gotten the "stuck" feeling is when trying to swallow pills. I've just in the last couple of weeks been able to start taking most of my pre-op Vitamins again.

2) I've experienced rapid heart rate twice: both times were after drinking a higher calorie Protein shake than I am used to. Once I drank my husband's just to try it, once we were on the road, so I bought an ensure. Needless to say, I have never drank either again.

3) I think the energy thing may be all relative. If you're pretty sedentary, then you lose some weight during your pre-op/post-op diet, and start exercising you will likely feel more energetic just from that. If, on the other hand you've always been a high-energy person, the immediate post operative period where you need to rest once in awhile may seem like the end of the world. Again, all I have to compare is my own experience.

- have never had a stuck feeling. Never been sick or thrown up either.

-never had a rapid heart rate although anesthesia can cause that

- I was super tired for a few weeks, feel normal now.

      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
