Hiii guys!!! I did it! Got sleeved on Tuesday 9/19 it was a pretty short procedure Of want say 1hour and half. I was sent home yesterday afternoon. I do feel a little uncomfortable due to the incisiones another then that, I've been able to talorate my liquid (water,broth, Jello, teas). One other discomfort is the urge to poop and I can't. Other then that I'm doing awesome!

I was sleeved on Monday. Felt great and was out and about. Now today I'm feeling anxious and teary and bloated. Help! Is this normal??
Any suggestions?




I felt the same way. Didn't take much to become teary eyed, but within 2-3 days, I was much better. I just surrounded myself with family and friends and tried to get up and move as much as I could. Good luck to you!

Congrats love! I was lucky because I was able to release a lot of gas the same day of surgery and I was able to walk they same day. I Struggled with the intake of the liquid but, zipping my way through the RN said if you get to 3 cups per 1 I'll let u go home! And I did just that and she saw me fully active sitting and walking the hospital gassing away [emoji4] [emoji5]

I was released on Wednesday and today Friday I was finally able to poop, just try to drink as much liquid as possible slowly and take your stool softener pills and you Protein Shake that had always helped me to poop! And I felt in heaven once I was able to poop!

      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. 🤞
