I was sleeved on 2/26. Recovery has been a bit slow. I ended up with a huge (12 " x 4") bruise on my left side. The dr did a CT scan last week and it looks like I had a small internal bleed which stopped. Been running a fever with it as my body is working hard to reabsorb the blood. Because of the bruise, I am still need to take tylenol to get through the day and I take a half dose of prescription at night.

food wise I'm up to full liquids and that has been sooo much better than Clear Liquids. I'm finally doing fine with getting enough fluids and picked up unflavored Protein Powder over the weekend to get my Protein increased. Thankfully food is starting to taste good again :-)

So far, I'm down 45 lbs total - 36 pre surgery/9 post. Only have another 100 or so to go :-)

I was sleeved in Feb 26th at 322 lbs. So far so good. I've adapted pretty well to the diet.. I am now on soft foods and 23 days out I have dropped

30 lbs. I'm taking off about 1 lb to 1/2 lb a day. Looking forward to the 280's shortly!

      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. 🤞
