hello and welcome! Hang in there, it does get better! Do you have meds for the acid/heartburn? If not, you might want to contact your surgeon to see about getting some.

welcome welcome welcome :)

wonderful group of people here :)

read and learn :)

use the search botton in the right hand corner :)

but we llllluv to answer any and all questions from newbies :unsure:

you are only one week out!!!

these issues you talk about are common to many :wacko:

as @@Sleevarilla said call your doc asking him to give you something for the acid/heartburn

or example, per my doc - i have taken Prilosa immediately PO :)

being wiped out/tired is also common

est, rest, rest - take things slowly (if you are able to) :)

family, friends around to help you??

when you are able to get out of the house- walk as much as possible (don't overdue - go slowly at first)

if you need to stay home, walk and walk around the house

make sure you drink plenty of Water (especially at this early stay)

popsicles are great

sip Water very slowly!!

good luck :)

Shavonna, very happy for you. I would stay away from anything acidic like Tomato Soup and fruit. Hang in there. You should feel good real soon. I never had a sick day and felt wonderful, and I feel bad for those who do not have it as easy. Always trust your body and gut instinct to tell you something is really wrong, but maybe having a restful weekend, you will feel better on Monday. Good luck!

      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.
