@@dar81 I'm sorry! I literally slept the entire time after surgery. I have only been waking up to pee and to be honest it does hurt to get up and down. It's not that bad tho. Dr. Paragi finished my surgery in about an hour and a half! The only thing that's been really hard is how thirsty and dry my mouth is. Later at 6am I have a gastric emptying test to do to check for any leaks. I hope it goes well and that I get to go home today!

Thanks everyone. I got here about 530, got called back at 6, tried to get ic in twice, would not work. Just now had some pain meds other than Tylenol so I'm finally feeling good. Passion was pretty bag. I didn't think it would be. Anyway I am chemically altered and tea rambling.

It sounds like you are really high! I am so happy for you!

Agreed--the gas pains are killer! I got my drain out this morning--hoping that helps with pain. Getting discharged and back to the real world today...

I am happy u got to rest and hope today's test goes smoothly for you! So excited for my procedure but this liquid diet just may kill me only on day four and man was my stomach growling all night! Tryin an new turkey broth today my fiancé found :) and I found if I use crushed ice in Protein drinks it feels like I'm eating a bit chewing on ice lol. Mind over matter. But hard very hard! So nervous about pain I've had several cysts removed gallbladder and appendix and I hear this is worse so I'm pretty scared yet anxious!

Get rest and ttys!!!!!

Ok maybe now I can type and make sense. Everything went well. Horrible pain yesterday and last night. Went on a few walks, feeling better, when yall refer to gas pains do you mean the pain kinda under the breast bone? That as been the worst for me. I should be going for leak test this morning and maybe get togo home this evening. Dry mouth and dry lips were the worst yesterday. I've had ice and a few popcicles. Anyway so thankful that everything went smoothly.

      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.
