I am home and feeling ok



Recommended Posts

Was sleeved yesterday at 2pm. So far so good. I have some abdominal pain and nausea, but it is all manageable so far. I have been getting up to walk around every few hours. How are other August 25thers doing!

Home, feeling like a million bucks... But run out of energy very quickly. My shower today really did me in! I'm feeling great, though. The nausea and vomiting from day 1 are gone, am off all pain meds, drinking my tiny sips like I was told, and really happy to be doing so well. I was able to walk 1 mile (in small increments) the day after surgery so I'm sure that helped with the gas and other nasty side effects. I'm hoping all our 8/25 "sleeve twins" are doing as well as or better than me!

8/25 sleever here and I'm feeling decent. I've been walking a lot, but tend to get crabby at the end of the day. Glad you're doing well!

I had my surgery 8/27. The gas and nausea were the most painful so far. After I got meds for gas , I got the dry heaves- not fun. Since I have been home, I have not taken any meds. I don't feel too bad. Not having any problems walking or sleeping. Also I am afraid to swallow any meds - the thought of it makes me cringe. So far my doctor is only allowing Clear Liquids. So I will keep plugging away.

Hi everyone, so motivating.

I was sleeved on 26 August and remained an extra night in hospital due to fever. I am home now and I sleep a lot . Just sleeping around the clock, in between trying to stay hydrated!which has been a very slow process. I thank God because I met a lady one month post op whose stomach refused to work. Met her in hospital and left her there. God has been good to me.

      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. 🤞
