I was sleeved on 4/14 as well. First day was a little bumpy with gas and nausea but Im feeling much better today. Still in the hospital but I think they are going to discharge me today. Can't wait! Good luck to everyone.

My surgery is scheduled next week, April 23!! I am 1 week into the pre-op diet, and still feeling a bit hungry. I know I'm not drinking Water like I should, so I am pushing myself today.

Getting so excited! I am obsessed with looking at before & after photos! I am sure I'm not alone......lol

Today is 1 week since my surgery, not a lot of energy yet, but the only pain is from my staples and they come out on Tuesday!! Can't wait to go swimming.

I weighed myself this morning and have lost 25.5 pounds since starting the pre-op liquid diet!!!

I'm really happy the surgery is behind me and can't wait to lose more!!

Good luck to those whose time is close, the pain doesn't last forever, you CAN do it!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement. I was sleeved today and wasn't prepared for just how much it hurts. Very, very tired, too. Walking around is hard. So glad it is done, though.

@Jennicarn: each day the pain will be less and less....I didn't walk a lot in the hospital either. You'll notice a huge difference in your pain and gas a week from now.

Take care,

Lori

Had my preop labs, ekg and upper GI today [worst test ever lol]. Picked up my post op scripts, paid the surgeon and hospital, and submitted my leave paperwork. My regular scheduled days off are fri/sat so I'll pack my hospital bag then. I'm working up until Wednesday bc otherwise I'd go nuts at home but I'm so ready!!!!!!!!!!

      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.
