cool , that's what I am getting. I am glad you got to come home the same day. I wonder why they are making me stay so long.

Well. I don't have any major health issues. And my surgeon is one of the best here in the Northwest. Dr. srikanth. So I can assume it all depends on the doctors and your health history. But I was surprised too cause I was assuming I'd stay at least one night. But I did all the test and passed exceedingly like the breathing test and cough test and Ofcourse a slew of other test s. So I got to heal at home. Which was best.

My dr wants me to have SIPS . Can you shed some light on your experience? I can't find anything on this online.

I am so happy I decided to have this surgery! No regrets at all. You will have foul smelling poop and gas, however, that's just the small part. I was a size 24 now down to a 12. I am 11 months out.

Thank you! Are you getting the Sips done? I am sooo happy I did this. And my family and friends notice how much more energy I have now than before. You won't regret it.

Actually losili, I was wrecking my brain deciding which surgery I should have done. Due to 250 cm (which isn't as bad as 100cm) rerouting of the intestines, I chickened out and decided to stay on the safe side without the intestine bit . I don't know honestly . Was even thinking of changing it last min . I've got my sugery booked for the 29th with Ian Michelle

29th July so I have time but they don't do Sadi in Melbourne . I found one doc who does it in Queensland (dr free) and he seems to be a younger surgeon than the others

Well if your just getting the sleeve. I'm pretty sure you'll get satisfactory results. As I've seen other successes on here and my co-worker actually got the sleeve and lost 120lbs and have kept it off for 3 years now. You can't possiby overeat as it will make you feel sick, dizzy, or you'll just vomit. But you don't want to do that all the time since you can stretch your pouch and gain weight.

I find that I have more will power to resist eating junk food. But, I think because I'm not as hungry I'm better able to handle it. Before surgery if I wanted fast food junk food I had no will power what so ever and I just ate what I wanted. But, I think you'll do well. Just be positive.

      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.
