Did any have this pain or that pain......have a stall at 1 week.....or gas or throw up, or can't feel any restriction, or have regrets......etc etc etc.....

Yep......someone did......all those things. Many, many times. It's probably safe to say you can eliminate the preface "Did anyone else?".

Just start in with what you want advice, guidance or help or support with.

Now before you all start biting my head off as being insensitive or worse.....This is just a light hearted, feel good, kidding around thread.

I just chuckle under my breath when I read a Thread that wonders if anyone else experienced similar issues or events.

The point is......to those who are worried and think they are alone or undergoing some strange "never heard of issue'......Relax..... It's all here

and somebody will help. There is comfort in numbers. You don't need to work yourself into an anxiety panic thinking things are going wrong. Someone here will help you. And you're as normal as everyone else.

Do a search or just fire away and say what's on your mind. And relax....... Did Anyone???? Yep, Many many many.....just like you. ;)

7 weeks out and pulse is down to low 50s and am fatigued and dizzy. BP is fine, getting in my Protein and Water and Vitamins so any thoughts on this one? (I'm waiting for the doctor to call with results from blood tests and 24 hour heart monitor test).

Something medically specific that concerns you like the dizziness and low pulse is certainly something that needs your doctors feedback. You did the right thing there.

That being said, I had pain issues after my sleeve that closely mimicked pains I experienced when having a heart attack a while back and it worried me too. I contacted my Doc and he was able to assure me it was all normal and would soon go away. Hopefully, that will be the case with you. Try to relax.

Sometimes I'm tempted to answer 'nope, can't say I've read about anyone ever experienced _____ (fill in the blank), are you sure you had ____ surgery?' Just to mess with folks... But I know that would lead down a very dark, bottomless rabbit hole.... So I play nice.

Just to make things more fun I am flying to Europe tomorrow for work and will be there for a week and a half! So here's hoping that whatever it is resolves itself!

OK, @@Recycled , how about this one?....

"Did anyone else ever have to take a dump in a kitty litter box at work because they didn't have enough time to get to the bathroom?"...... I've searched and searched and can't find anyone else who shares this experience. I feel so alone ;)

      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.
