I was sleeved two days ago. Recovering in hotel room. Not much pain, didn't need pain or nausea Med today. Trying to walk a lot. Trying to drink enough, only got 16 ounces yesterday, trying to get more in today. Made a watery Protein Drink and slowly sipping from it too, it's hard. But all things considered, I am doing well. We fly home tomorrow.

Hey my July peeps! I am doing good! I been walking and drinking sips. Got out of surgery and in room at 11:00am. Doc said I had a lot of scarring from my previous surgeries and some herinas. We will fix them after a drop 60lbs. Hoping to make that by end of the year.
I am surprised how good I feel. No drain. No catheter and just started liquid loratab.
Hope all of you are doing well.
We all sitting on the losers bench, ,!!! Ya,hoooooooo!!

Yay! Mostly good news minus the hernia! I'll be in the same boat. Massive lower abdomen scarring from back surgery and stomach area scarring from gallbladder. Plus a hernia above my belly button from an incision that I can't fix till I'm below 30 BMI. That's what finally pushed me to get the sleeve. It looks like a fist sized tumor.

Hope your recovery continues to go well!

Hey Kate!
Yeah I hear ya. Those darn hernias are a pain.
I am feeling good this morning, did some hall walking last night. Hardly no gas pain. I am waiting to see the doc. I usually take Fluid pills and I am beginning to swell with all the fluid pumping in me. So they checking to see if I can have a tiny bit.
Hope everyone is doing great ! Thanks so much for the well wishes!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
