Update....on gastric sleeve done 12/22/2015...stayed over night, and only felt nausea when i awaken from surgery, until they medicated me, plus had to get up and walk every 4 hours, Not too much problem getting in and out of bed, just due to the I.V. being in the way, no problems with walking as it did help gas pains. I felt like i could drink more but when i sipped two medicine cups i felt pain so stopped for 15 min. Everything was nasty to me but water..when my husband brought me home yesterday I needed a few items from grocery store that I knew he would prob forget so I went inside with him to get the exercise...lol, which was not bad at all. last night was the first night home and could not get Protein Shake down maybe 3oz..so will work on that today...still a few unwanted gas pains but able to move around...thinking of baking a cake for the Fam for Christmas...btw got 7 bandages and stomach looks swollen to me but I think that's normal but no leaking...bandages come off today when I shower and sterile strips fall off on their own.

@@jalleyne1972 - WELCOME to the family!

Sounds like you are doing very well post-op. great Job!

Keep moving and stay hydrated - the rest will follow. If you eat get as much out off it as you can (Protein first, always).

Happy Belated Re-Birthday :rolleyes:

      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.
