All I can say is do it and don't look back I had the opportunity.. 5 years ago... and chickened out... 4 days prior to surgery.. I can't imagine how those years would have been different... best of success.... you got this

Hi... I had my sleeve a week ago Yesterday. There was some discomfort the first day but was well managed by the nurses. My Dr was great about it. Some nausea the first few days which bothered me more than the discomfort I was in. You will do fine. If you trust your Dr just know that he will take care of any pain you might have. Tell him your fears, he has had a lot of patients who have been in your shoes and will do what he can to alleviate your fears. We are all here to help so just vent to us too. :))

I'm home now and doing great, I'm in mild discomfort but nothing I can't handle. The gas pain has been the only issue for me!! Can't wait to start my new life

I had mine a week ago yesterday too. I'm a pain weenie but this was no problem. My arms hurt from being stretched out and getting up from prone caused a little blip of pain in the incisions but nothing terrible. I never felt worse than a five.

That said, I am totally exhausted, I mean wiped out. The level of fatigue has taken me by surprise. I guess I ain't no spring chicken anymore. Blast me.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
