My surgeon said I don't have to do it as my BMI is under 35 but I remember it from being banded. Boredom was my biggest issue so a variety of flavours is helpful.

My BMI is 29 and my revision surgery is on the 25th, but I still have to do the liquid diet. My surgeon said this had nothing to do with my current weight or BMI, but instead is to ensure my liver is as healthy as possible and not enlarged for the surgery as this gives the best outcome. I'm in Sydney Australia, so maybe we do things differently down here?

I kind of wondered about that as when I had it done in 2009 I also didn't have to do it for the same reason but I had a really difficult recovery with a lot of liver inflammation after my surgery. I am actually thinking about doing it for a week anyways just so that I can shrink the liver down and hopefully have an easier recovery than I did last time.

Hi everyone! I made it to the loser's bench!!! All went well. I did wake up in lots of pain. Nurse gave me morphine and I started feeling better. I did have some nausea but it cleared. No gas pain yet (I'm knocking on wood it stays that way!).

Good luck to all the May 2nd sleevers!

      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.
