Nope! 200+ lbs down and I could not be happier. I had an easy recovery and never had even a second of "buyer's remorse."

None. I couldn't be happier with my surgery experience, recovery, and progress so far.

It was my first surgery ever so I had no idea what to expect. The worst part of the whole experience was the pre-op uncertainty.

My advice? Do everything you are asked to do by your team (pre- and post-op) even if you think you can't or think it is silly. Everything you are asked to do is for your benefit and to minimize risks and complications.

Zero complications.

Very smooth process.

Would do it all over again without hesitation.

Weight loss has been steady and I'm grateful for it.

Nine months out and no complications. It's not easy, but the many advances you feel, both in weight loss and in life, make the difficulty worth it. You'll develop a new relationship with food and with yourself that takes some getting used to, but you get there. All in all, totally worth it and my only regret is that I did not do this sooner.

No complications but I slept almost the entire time in the hospital. I didn't get out of bed to walk until day 2. I was really sensitive to the anesthesia.

I have No regrets! I hit the 150s yesterday!! 56 lbs gone and I couldn't be happier

I'm 3.5 years out and my only "side-effect" is that I can't eat carrots. YAY!

i had no problems with my sleeve surgery

pre & post op

gas

walking

drinking

eating

to name a few

no problems :rolleyes:

there are always "possible" complications with any surgery :(

we are all "living" proof that surgery, outcome is great

some people are on the fence about having WLS

my advice is GO Forward with surgery

don't ever look back!!!

never look back!!!!

good luck

      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.
