Had my surgery on August 10th. Good luck to everyone. I had an excellent experience, just trying to get through this first week. So happy I made the decision to have the surgery.

Tomorrow is my day... Have to be at the surgery center at 7am.... Sooooo scared and excited

I'm praying. Easier said than done, but try to embrace your new you. Try not to focus on the negatives.

My VSG was Tuesday August 18, 2015. I cam home on Wednesday afternoon. Today is my first full day at home. I am focusing on walking, Vitamins, Protein and Water.

I am not doing well getting more than 4 oz in an hour. I am getting full.

Gas X strips are a big help.

I had my surgery on 8-19-15 so yesterday and I was released same day... I'm very tired I've had 2 Popsicles and only drinking about 20 or so oz's... I heard the 3 day is the worst and than you feel much better... I have one hole that they pulled my stomach out of that hurts pretty bad.. I also can't talk loud or take really deep breathes cuz it hurts?!

My tentative date is August 5th. The nurse said on Tuesday(July 8th) evening that she will be sending in my paper work to the insurance. I have no idea if she did yet. I did all my pre op testing (sleep study,blood work, all the doctors etc).

If anyone is interested there is a August Facebook group....https://www.facebook.com/groups/AugustGastricSleeveBuddies/

      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. 🤞
