I had the sleeve done a couple days ago, and I feel like no one around me knows the pain I'm in. Sometimes I feel I won't accept my "new body" since I've been overweight basically since my adolescent. Probably just need to vent.

I felt the exact same way... The more normal I feel and the more I heal the more that feeling goes away.

Omg @ Foxy_lady, I kno exactly how you are feeling. I had mine done on 3/7 and the regret feelings I had every day until yesterday, I think when we start feeling better from the pain most of the regrets go away. Hang in there you will feel better,

I'm in NJ. I'm pre op. Getting nervous, but all is well so far. I also wondered about how I'll accept the new body. I've been overweight since 4 th grade. Smh but I'm hopeful!

@ I totally understand you, I've been overweight since I was young too and it's a shame to say but I had accepted it. But I chose to this surgery cause of health reasons...I'm also worried about accepting my new body, so I'm taking one day at a time. Waiting for the day I can eat something lol .

I was sleeved on the 10th in Tiajuana and for 36 hours was given 1000 ml bags of Tramadol. The doctor literally called me a cry baby because I kept complaining of pain. Other people who were at the facility popped right up and seemed to have no issues. I'm 4 daya out and still hurting so badly I can't lay flat, and turning in any sort of oblique position feels like someone sucker punched me. I thought I may have done some damage with the crazy taxi rides and airplane turbulence heading home and was super afraid of herniation. I just finally had to take what my mom said into consideration there's no right way or wrong way for this to go. Everyone is different and if you're in pain then address the pain. So many people have made me feel "small" when I tall about how bad I am hurting but this truly would be a cake walk aside from that. The further away from surgery date I get the less the pain is but it decreases in small measurements. I hope you feel better. I'm living on ibuprofen and antibiotics and prayers!

I am right there with you. Post op Day 4. And it is all overwhelming. food is such an emotional thing. It's like they pulled us away from our mother on the first day of school. Some kicking and screaming. I am just feeling sad. Time does heal.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
