First I want to say happy surgery day to all the sleevers going in today! Good luck and here's to a safe outcome and recovery.

Mine happens tomorrow. Is this really happening? I feel like the rug is going to be pulled out any minute now. It still doesn't feel real. It probably won't till I'm in recovery lol. I'm struggling with hunger and what I should pack. This is my first surgery and im getting kind of nervous. Not just about the actual surgery but losing my friend food. My life changing in what feels like an instant. Anyone having surgery tomorrow? I know it's for the best but I just never thought It would effect me like this. Anyone have any words of wisdom or encouragement? I feel like im going to miss something.

I'm leaving for the hospital in a few minutes. Don't think of it as losing your love of food, look at it as in making better choices. You will be great!! Wish you all the best for tomorrow.

@@Torriluv87 you will do great! Mine was quick too. No food funerals. Bam...two week diet and surgery. But I think it's been better that way. Cold turkey is usually the best way for me to quit something. I sitting in the waiting room now about to head in.

Hi guys!! So I got sleeved at about 8 am. I've been sleeping off and on most of the day - this is my first time looking at my phone. Not being hungry is the strangest feeling! The gas pain is tolerable - hasn't headed to my shoulder yet so it's all in my abdomen. For any ladies that have had babies - to me this feels like mild contractions that are just always there...ooh! Or bad period cramps. Thank you all for being my support I hope everyone else done today is feeling good and everyone yesterday. Everyone else: you guys got this! Our futures are limitless. Love to you all.

      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.
