I got my sleeve on Tuesday. Went home from hospital on Wednesday. And today is my first full day home. I remember how scared I was before and that seeing positive posts always help so here goes mine. I had an awesome experience. Very little nausea when I first woke up. That was the only nausea I had. No vomiting whatsoever. And very very little pain. I was pretty shocked that it didn’t hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. I think the biggest challenge now is being able to get in 30 ounces of liquid in 30 ounces of clear liquid because you get full so fast. But nothing more than slight discomfort lots of burps and goggles. But I feel amazing. I hope this helps all of you calm your nerves.:)

Don't be anxious. Remember you've come so far, done so well, tomorrow just starts your journey to better health. Now climb on that cart,lay back, and let the surgeon perform the magic. Bariatric surgeons do it often, they do it good, it's not their first rodeo, you are in good hands. As I read the stories on Bariatric Pal most posters say they wake up only minimally uncomfortable. Makes me hunger for my own surgery, should be within the next 6 weeks . Just think, as of tomorrow you'll be a "veteran" to me. Now get some rest tonight, I'll be praying for you.

Not one issue. I’m less than 3 weeks out. No pain. Never vomited. I can drink normally now. I’ve eaten chicken, pork, ground beef, steak, and green Beans. No problems at all. I’m hungry now every 3-4 hours. Eat almost a whole egg, or yogurt , tiny 2 Oz serving of Protein and 6 green beans and I’m good for 3+ hours. I’m down 20lbs:)

      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. 🤞
