I'm assuming you mean Friday 6th? No?

36 pounds in 7-8 days is an impressive rate of loss.

Your profile still says pre-op. Time to update that, I'm sure. (Just about to do mine now.)

I was sleeved on Thursday 12th at 8:30am.

It's Sunday 10:15am now and I have been home nearly 19 hours.

I am pain-free but massively flatulent.

Best wishes to you.

Congrats on getting through the surgery. I know what you mean about the pain immediately following surgery. I had such bad gas pains that my first day post op felt like an eternity. My wife went through this surgery 3 years ago though so i kind of knew to expect this. Once I got beyond that point though it has been like a night and day difference. I am now 3 days post op and have only taken my pain meds once in the last two days. Best of luck with getting to that 3 at the start of your weight. It is a huge psychological boost to see your weight starting with a lower number.

      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. 🤞
