Hi. It's the middle of the night after. It's ok! Better than I expected. Nausea but no vomiting, shoulder tip pain worse at time than belly pain. Hot packs help. Got my button friend to help too. Can sip sip sip. Yay. Feeling glad I did it! Thanks for all the support!!

24 hours on and I feel great. Tired from being woken hourly overnight but pain is minimal. Just showered myself and went for a big walk. Already managed 700ml Fluid since midnight. Sip sip the way to go

Hi from Brisbane, sounds like you're doing well, congratulations on the start of this amazing journey. Had my surgery end of February and am down 27 kilos, still have about 30 kilos to go, cant believe how I managed to carry all that extra weight around, don't regret this op for a single second. I'm excited for you hope you keep feeling well, be kind to yourself over the next couple weeks. I look forward to hearing how you are going

Thanks Lizcan. I am in Sydney. Thanks for the encouragement too Books! Can't imagine what 30kg down will feel like! But already checking out online the sort of clothes I used to wear and can't wait to shop in the 'skinny girl' shops! To be able to buy underwear from Bras n Things!

I can't believe it takes 30 mins to drink soup! But it tastes so good!

Did anyone else keep it a secret from family?

Hi! I'm Sydney too, I'm getting sleeved in early November. I too am a nurse so like you I know the worst case scenarios which play over and over in my mind. Good luck with your surgery, let me know how you go!

Hey. It's all good news. I've been in one night and should be going home tomorrow. Think I tried to drink a bit too much today as feeling a bit gassy tonight but all the worst case scenarios I read about - vomiting blood, lots of pain- none of it happened. I feel so much better than I expected and reckon I'll only need a week off work not the 2 recommended. BUT I will wait till I get home and into kids and jobs and trying free fluids then purée. Will stay in touch on here!!

Still all good. Home sweet home! Loved yogurt today! Still having occasional wind pains and can feel the gas running around my body. Some diarrhea today as well but guess that's expected after only fluids. A little disappointed I came out of hospital at same weight but it's only been 2 days after all!!

Hi Smileygal, congrats on your big step. I'm glad to hear your surgery went well and your recovering nicely at home. My surgery is set for Oct 16th. Can't come soon enough but feels like ages away.

      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.
