Congrats! I so look forward to getting my date as well. My first surgeon appointment is Aug. 7. How long has your journey been to get to this point?

My first appointment was the 2nd week in May, so my process has gone rather quickly!

Best to you!

Everything went great during my surgery. Stayed in the hospital for two days and nights. No major pain, only dry heaves on the way home that caused us to pull off of the highway four times.

How is everyone else doing?

My surgery went very well also. Stayed in the hospital 2 nights.

Last night I wasn't feeling very well at all, but I'm doing better this morning.

I'm having some trouble taking my pain pill. I think I'll break it into smaller pieces next time.

One thing that I was surprised about is how swollen and bruised my stomach is. Rolling over in bed causes me quite a bit of pain.

Came home from the hospital 7 lbs heavier than I went in. But hopefully I'll get down to my surgery weight this week.

Thinking of all of you!

I actually had to sleep on the couch last night so I wouldn't roll over in my incisions. I keep getting my pain pill stuck in the back of my throat and have to work getting it out.

The best thing I heard was the other day when my doctor said that if you don't go home 10-15 pounds heavier than when you went in we aren't doing our job properly. Total in all I gained about 10, maybe a little more. But it feels good to finally be on the losers bench.

      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.
