Yes what are the Facebook groups? That's exactly what I was looking for

There's:

November 2015 Women Sleevers

Gastric Sleeve and Bariatric Surgery Support Group

If you put in"gastric" "sleeve" or "sleevers" quite a few some up. :)

I had my surgery on 10/17 at 5pm......a 5hr delay from the original time of noon. I got so anxious during that 5hr wait that I'm still not sleeping well but I am one of the fortunate ones that really has had no problem with pain or gas. Right now though, the thought of trying to get some Protein powder in makes me sick to my stomach. Anything sweet sounds disgusting. Sure hope that continues as my downfall was sweets.Can't wait to get on the way to losing weight!!

I also had my sleeve done on the 16th. How are you feeling? How are you holding up with the gas pain?

Anyone having trouble breathing normally? i can breathe but it feels like I can't take full breaths. I've been researching any people are saying that doctors have told them it's the gas. :(

If you're having trouble with your shoulder it's definitely gas. It's such an annoyance! I've been lucky enough not to get shoulder pain.

I had mine on the 13th - so many questions! I'll be honest, I've been lurking about reading all the forums to find information the last few days.

Lovely little community :)

I had my surgery on the 11/11 and I'm feeling fine now. The anaesthesia and anti-nausea drugs had me completely loopy so it was difficult for me to stay awake in hospital.

I have so much heartburn and acid in my stomach it's crazy. Ive had to double my dosage of the anti-acid medication and that's still not doing it all.

I'm also finding that I can drink about 200ml every hour. It seems very high for what everyone else can do?

Mine is on Monday. I just joined...I didn't see a November 2015 support group. Where do you guys hangout on here?

There are a few on Facebook if you're interested in that medium.

Curvybritt I'm also drinking about that much - I was wondering if that was weird too. Any thoughts?

      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. 🤞
