I had the VSG surgery yesterday Aug 30th, Everything went well, I woke up feeling pretty good except for the incisions. I've been sipping Water and eating small amounts of Jello. Every once in a while I have a little spasm in my stomach, and very minimal gas pains.

:D I so glad you doing well. My first couple of days after leaving the hospital were really rough. I was sipping to large amounts of my drinks, which caused me to throw up a lot. After my 5th day everything was so smooth, I felt like did I really get sleeved!

Good Luck

Thanks everyone! I've had a pretty good recovery, other than incision pain (which is getting handled by Tylenol) I admit that I didn't know what quite to expect, but I haven't really been nauseous at all, I do have meds if needed, not yet. But I do have a temp running about 99.7, it hasn't gotten any higher than that. Feeling pretty darn good. Today I did about 50 grams of Protein and close to 64oz of Water, ALL I do is sip sip sip! BEST OF LUCK to all of you on your journey!

      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. 🤞
