I had mine done May 13th in Frisco, TX! First few days were pretty hard but now that I can drink more liquids I'm doing so much better.

Hi, first post here, getting mine on May 29th in Atlanta, GA, really excited too. Pretty much listening to video blogs of people who have had it done all day while I am working. Happy to see people who are getting it done around the same time as me, will be great if we can keep each other updated on how things are going.

Had mine May 11th. I agree, the first few days are rough but Im a week out and feeling no pain at all. Just gas pains and trying to drink/eat enough to meet my liquid/protein goal. Its tough!

Hello new me

I am having surgery next week. I am just curious of how your first few days were, are they as bad as I keep hearing?

Hello! My dr made it very clear to me that I would definitely feel like I had surgery day 1 and I did. Honestly it wasn't the pain it was the nausea the got me, I would try to throw up but would get scared I would hurt myself. I was also very tired and I just wanted to rest, and we all know you will not rest in the hospital. I even asked my family to not visit me, day 2, for a few hours so that I could REST! Day 5 at home for some reason I felt very bad and had some pain, not enough for pain meds though. Everyday I get better and better. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you have a smooth process. It is hard the first week but it will fly!! I do suggest to not over do it!! BEST WISHES FOR YOU!!

        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
