Recommended Posts

I remember how excited I was the few days leading up to surgery, but especially the early morning of surgery.... I could hardly wait to start my new life!

I remember not being scared at all and only a little bit nervous, but overwhelmed with excitement!

My surgery was 11/14/16.

Congratulations on your surgery and I wish you the best and a speedy recovery! :)

Hello all... Thanks for the well wishes. I've been sleeved now for only 12 hrs. I'm still in the hospital until tomorrow. I can have anything by mouth until tomorrow but the cool b part is I'm NOT even hungry. I am however in a little bit of pain but not tooooo bad. They fount a henital hernia while I was in sugary and they they repaired that as well... I'm ready to get some liquids tomorrow, my mouth is SUPER DRY. I've been up walking and I'm about to go again. Thank you for all your kind words and I'll keep you posted.

How are you feeling are you home yet?




I got home yesterday and I'm feeling better than I expected. I've been doing a lot of walking which has helped. I've been sipping Water and eating Jello here and there..... I had a little phlegm in my chest and it was so painful to cough up but I finally got it up. The only problem I'm having is the DISGUSTING store bought broth. I have to find something else ASAP... Thanks for checking on me

      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. 🤞
