Hey Belinda,

It took an entire week and one day then it just changed over night. I had energy and I didn't have to use my meds anymore.

It's called GENEPRO...I love it so far. On another hand I hope you feel better soon as well. Everybody is different when having this surgery. I've heard so many different stories...me myself I think it was pretty good...I didn't have a lot of pain and I feel normal now at 14days post-op. Walk,walk,walk that should help with some pain.

GOODLUCK????

Hi everyone! My name is Kim and I had my sleeve done on Dec 10th so going on 4 weeks. At my 1 week post op appt I told the nurse that I was feeling hungry and I still am! Im a little disappointed because I was hoping I wouldn't want to eat after surgery! Im supposed to be doing puréed food for 1 more week but it's killing me. I want to eat normal food, even a salad! I've been eating baby food cheese puffs with hummus, Soups, mashed potatoes and eggs! I don't go back to the dr until Jan 15th but I've seen other posts saying their Drs have okd normal food after a couple weeks. I guess I'm just looking for advice because I'm afraid I'm hurting my sleeve without knowing I'm doing damage. I've had some cheez its, a handful of microwave popcorn, etc and nothing seems to bother me!

I had Dr. Tuggle for my surgeon in 12/28. So far the acid reflux is the only bug issue. I'll be happy to be someones buddy I need the support also.

I wish I could say that I found lots but the truth is I didn't. I wasn't feeling very well but when I was i made different Soups and strained the broth for myself. I got tired of chicken broth. So I used different herbs etc. Jello helped a lot. And popsicles made of crystal light. Sorry I can't help further.

How are you feeling?

      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.
