Yay I'm now post op! Pain and nausea were at a 8/9 out of ten when I woke up took quite a few hours to get under control but feeling much better now nausea gone thanks to a patch they put on and pain maybe 2/3 out of ten.

Able to sip Water with some discomfort, didn't get any sleep with all the check ups but managed to half doze. I'm in for one more night then home tomorrow morning. I can't believe this is real! All the best to you all on your journeys :) and speedy recovery!

I had my final preop assessment today. Am exhausted and terrified. The bariatric nurse has made me feel the next six weeks are going to be unbearably horrible. She said nothing of the positive endpoint only the horrible symptoms. She spoke about dilating strictures for ages! I know I need this surgery to stand a chance of being healthy. Only now I'm dreading it. Sorry to be such a worrier- I thought today would be a boost. I was very wrong!

I had my surgery yesterday and was released home this afternoon. Except for the continuing gas issues and the pain when I try to use my abdominal muscles, and the Dr. had to repair a large hiatal hernia while inside, I feel great! Now starts the hard part - the post-op diet!

      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.
