Yay! Congratulations! You will probably sore, tired, and kind of out of it for a few days but that is all normal. Just try to relax, sip your Clear liquids often, and remember to move around to help get rid of all the air bubbles. I paced my living room like a panther the first few days haha! Good luck on your journey :)

Woo hoo! So happy for you! Keep it up! I'll be having my surgery tomorrow. I think it is great to have the surgery just before the New Year. It makes me feel that 2015 will be the year of change. Good luck!

Surgery completed yesterday, check. While sitting in recovery I asked the nurse if doc did a Tummy Tuck or something she said no I don't think so. I asked because it felt like my left side was caved in and I could fell my bones, or ribs or something. Anyway, I got home late last night and looked at my stomach with my sissy pooh and I think we booth got a little scared. It's quite sunk in where I guess he pulled the stomach out. But I think it will be ok. Right now I'm ddealing with a bit of the gas and trying walk and do my breathing treatments is the focus.

My Surgery was the 30th, and I came home yesterday. I also have a caved-in spot where my Stomach came out. Looks weird. I'm still not feeling very good. Feel tired and sleepy.

      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.
