Who's having surgery in march



Recommended Posts

I had mine 3/6. For the most part I feel great. I had a bit of gas that the gas x strips helped tremendously. My main issue now is a terrible burning sensation in my muscles on my left side when I stand, sit and walk. If I lay down or recline it completely goes away. I've lost 18 pounds since morning of surgery! Excited to see my progress as time goes on!!

Had mine on the 7th. Came home yesterday, gas pains are really bad!!!!



Walk walk walk, first day is really bad, you will feel better every day. My second day they gave me chewable gas pills, worked like a charm, but walking helps your gas tl go away. By the third day, you will feel great. Good luck

Surgery buddy! I have the same day and same pain! I tried to go to work this morning but I got so nauseous and the pain on my left side is like daggers. When do you go back to work? I've lost 9 since morning of surgery!

My left side hurt terribly but walking helps a lot. We can't move too fast. We are newbies. I'm trying to figure out drinking and eating enough hello. My favorite chicken noodle broth taste blah to me now I'm going to drink Protein Drinks I got from metabolic weight loss. Its like crystal lite but Protein. U can now buy from them without a membership. They got some in store called lift waters they are nasty. Do anyone live in shreveport la.

      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.
