Good luck!! I had my sleeve done this past Thursday and I feel really good. The gas has been the worse part. And it's not terrible. Be sure to get up and take small walks. I actually feel so good I'm going to go to work for a few hours tomorrow. :-).

Best wishes! Walking was a breeze for me with my morphine drip. I missed it when I got home but walking truly helps with a lot of what ails us shortly after surgery.

Best of luck to you for a pain free recovery. I was sleeved July 31st and am back at the same hospital today for my wife's VSG surgery.

I had absolutely zero pain or nausea and have dropped 28 lbs in 25 days. Wishing the same for you!

Surgery went just fine. Was in the hospital for two nights. Came home this morning.

Experienced some nausea the day after surgery. I'm on full liquids right now and am glad to be eating Greek yogurt or sugar free pudding.

Pain hasn't been too bad. They had me on Dilaudid. I had my last dose yesterday and haven't needed anything for pain since. The worst pain I'm having right now is in the form of a headache.

I still have some gas blocked in my abdomen from surgery, and I wish it would just get out.

I've also started crushing and taking meds. Most are tolerable, except for Metformin. THERE IS NO WAY I am trying this again crushed. It was so nasty!!!!

What experiences have you all had with trying to take your Metformin after surgery.

      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.
