Yes I believe it is normal. I was also sleeping a lot after my surgery.

Not really sorry, i'm still having a hard time eating and drinking Protein and it's going on 3 months now. I have a doctor's appointment on the 14th to find why I'm having a hard time consuming protein.

How's your loss going? Has the bruising gone down yet?

Sorry about the late response debs1606. My starting weight before this journey was 288 I'm now 205. I still have bruises, but no more pain. How are you holding up?

Hi, I was sleeved on 8/9. So I'm 10 days out and I saw your post above about your wounds hurt you too. Do they still hurt? How long does it last? It is better but still hurts to walk around without my binder and sometimes with it anyway. I can get up and out of bed now, but this soreness is just lingering. It is on the large incision site AND feels like tugging or pulling with soreness in my abs muscle. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

      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.
