Any December Sleevers



Recommended Posts

@fuzzyangelbear. It went very well! I only remember getting on the op-table then waking up about two works after being in observation. I feel very well right now for the exception of the air but I'm doing my breath exercises so that's helping a lot. How are you doing???

2 days post op. Don't remember anything except going to the operating room. Woke up in my room the magic fairies got me there. I think the gas x strips and the biotene spray were critical for after surgery. My mouth was so dry. Ewww. I feel pretty excellent for just having had surgery on Monday. I had a wonderful team of nurses and doctors they made all the difference. Baby steps

@@fuzzyangelbear I vomited horribly as soon as I got to my room. It hurtled so bad. I felt intense nausea and heaves for the first 7-8 days post op and even vomited twice at home. It's taken a while but I'm finally starting to feel normal again.

Guess this procedure just has different after effects for everyone.

@@MyssJones I am sorry to hear you had a difficult time. Thank heavens I have not vomited. I really thought I was going to in post op as well as when taking the leak test but dodged them both.

Now home and going to try and get in all my liquids and Protein, this may be difficult since I am not hungry and really forget about eating or drinking.

Dec 22nd sleeved. I haven't vomited but sometimes the urge is so powerful, thank god for zofran. I am down 18 pounds with my 2 week pre op diet and surgery on Monday. Don't forget your chap stick or biotene moisturizing spray. So much needed surprised hospital doesn't supply it. Feeling as weak as a kitten but gets better everyday.

      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. 🤞
