After my surgery running 5 hours late I finally got it yesterday. It was a tough night for me but I'm finally feeling better.

I'm only 12 days out, but I can tell you it gets better everyday. By day 8 I felt normal. Have a great journey!

I got my call - 6 AM tomorrow morning checkin at the ER, because admitting isn't even open yet. I can guarantee, my doctor will likely stoll in around 9. They wouldn't say what time the surgery actually begins. Just that I need to be there at 6 a.m.

Congrats on getting through that big hurdle! It definitely gets better every day. By day 4 I could easily meet Fluid and Protein goals and now 7.5 weeks out life is pretty normal other than occasional tiredness but even that gets less and less each day. keep us updated!

I had mine on the 8th too!! No pain meds (including tylenol) as of last night. Feeling really good. I've been cautious about eating and drinking so no nausea yet. I hope everyone else is feeling as good ????

      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.
