@@KS611 It didn't hurt at all. I was actually shocked about that. There was a weird cramping sensation but I wasn't in any form of pain or discomfort.

@@Moogle That is good to

know. The only tenderness I have seems to be where the drain is. Can't wait for it to be out so I can be more comfortable.

Having my surgery this morning. Wow, this has been a long time coming. Six months of preparing & research. I'm very nervous about this. I know it's the best thing for me but that doesn't take away from the enormity of it. Please keep me in your thoughts today.

Day two post op. Everything went very well. Had my swallow test this morning all was well. They showed me the X-ray of my new pouch. It's about the size of an egg. I did get a drain which will be removed tomorrow &a catheter which was removed today. Pain is tolerable today. But as I was coming off of the anesthesia the pain was really bad & very bad nausea as well. They worked quickly to get them both under control. Getting the drain out tomorrow & going home. I have also done a great deal of walking.

      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.
