Well it's done! I'm laying in my hospital bed as I type with a new pouch. Haha I have been really really shocked at how smooth my recovery is going. I've been up walking since just hours after the procedure. My comfort level is high, and my spirit is too! I did have an internal reaction to one of the medicines they administered during the procedure, and am now on insulin. Strange to me because I'm not a diabetic. Having my finger pricked every hour all day and night isn't really awesome but eh. It's fine.

I hope all of my April 11ers are doing well and feeling good!!

Everything went smooth for me today as well. Recovery time was smooth sailing and I was also up and walking shortly after sx. Nausea and gas pains have been the hardest thing to work through.

Good luck to all those going in this week! ❤️

Nervous is normal! Hopefully they've given you something to calm you down by now, and you'll soon be on the other side!! Congrats!!

      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.
