@@Ashlegal, did you have your surgery? Everything go well for you? I had mine, BUT didn't end up with the bypass I went in for. Apparently he couldn't make my intestine reach up to my stomach, and I'm going to have to lose more weight before we try again. Most disappointing thing in the world, waking up in pain only to find you aren't past the whole thing. I came home same day, still have a lot of soreness and bruising (he tried for 2.5 hours to make it work). Guess I'll need to pop into the October surgery thread now!

You had surgery and your already waking outside. Wow your brave. I'm okay just a little in pain. Surprisingly not hungry at all. And that's saying something for me lol

That's so awesome! I walked around my house I don't think i could make it outside yet since I'm still taking pain meds every 5 hours. Totally random question have you had a bowel movement yet? If so was it painful

I have not had a bowel movement and it's been six days-I assume I should do a stool softener or has it taken everyone this long?

      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.
