Hi, I feel fantastic. So much better than I ever expected. I've been up and walking around, using my laptop and talking to the other patients. I've been catching up on Netflix as this clinic has private rooms and televisions with apps. I can even call back to the US for free.

I expected that it would be a trying physically and emotionally but it's nothing like that for me (so far). I received some xanax crushed up in apple juice before the surgery and had an iv put in with meds (painkiller, antibiotics, anti-nausea and an antacid) plus a blood thinner shot. Ten minutes later they took me to the operating area. I dozed off and when I woke back up didn't even realize that that the surgery was finished. I was told it took about 30 minutes for the procedure.

I'm feeling very fortunate and hope this feeling of wellness lasts.

Good luck to you. I'm anxious to get my surgery date. It's supposed to be by mid April. I just want to be on the healing side so I can move forward with getting my health better. I have a huge amount of weight to lose and I want excited to get it off of me. How did your liquid diet go?

      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.
