The start of my gastric sleeve journey!



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done on the 11/09/2014. I HATE anesthetic couldn't find a vein so gased me they had a terrible time when I woke up keeping the oxygen on (ie me pulling it out when the nurse went away) anyway I had little to almost no pain and the surgeon said my op went extremely well, so I was sent home 2 days later. I have to keep these silly operation socks on for 6 weeks but apart from that I haven't had any pain meds since the day I came home. I am now slowly starting to eat chicken and mash potato etc so am glad so this means I can go to work and not be noticed. My husband took me out for dinner twice since my op both times I had the waitor worrying that I hated the food for my size eating the amount I did for them seemed weird so I noticed a lot of looks from them which bothered me a little. I am down 10kg and my weight has stalled I'm not worried as I'm eating not alot and the doctor said it would stall. Now its just tackling the food demons in my head! Which I am winning for just now, I'm just looking forward to losing more weight and going into proper clothes shops! Share your stories xxxx

      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.
