Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve on May 18th and am down 17 lbs as of today and FEELING GREAT! I am just a little sore, but have more energy (minus those 17lbs) and am up and walking a lot. I had my surgery outpatient and so far so good! How about you?

Hey there! Had mine on 5/14! I am down 10lbs. so far. I don't think I'm getting enough Protein I still feel very weak and tired. Maybe if I walked just a little bit more I wouldn't feel that way.

Keep up the good work!

DJAY210, I'm a year and a have since I had my sleeve. It's hard to get your Water and Protein in and your going to feel weak for a while. It took me about 4 months before I wasn't weak or lightheaded.

I had my sleeve May 20th. I feel really good. My scales do not work but I know I lost 26 pounds on my preop diet. I am sore and get tired easy but yesterday was the first day I didn't get my fluids in so today I'm gonna be really good. I'm so excited to be on a weight loss tract that I think I can do!

I am now a little worried because, well for one i have to find a new doctor because the one that did the surgery almos killed me... my surgery was a little drastic since the doctor perforated my mesenteric artery and i had to be rushed to another hospital to find out 10 hours later after the oroginal anesthesia that a cut had to be made almost through my whole abdomen so my life can actually be saved!! Now I've lost since may 22nd up to today september 14th 2015 "98" pounds !!!!! Anyone here lost that much??? Please share im kind of worried since this doctor obviously i cant see him again for personal reasons but i was told i would loose 100 pounds within a year and it has been 3 months and a half!!! Super worried here !!

I am a May 11th sleever and to date I have lost 91lbs. 11 of that was pre-op, but still losing pretty steadily.

Sorry to hear about your experience. If you are concerned, I would seek out another surgeon to follow up with.

      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. 🤞
