Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 2/19 and I'm struggling with gas pain. Did you have any issues with gas?

Yes, the doctor prescribed me Hyoscyamine 125mg chewable tablets for the stomach cramps and they worked wonders.

Thanks! I'm going to call my doctor now. If my gas pains were under control, I would have no issues at all.

You are very welcome!! Additionally, I needed extra nausea pills because that was a huge issue for myself for at least 2 months

Had my sleeve done august 29, 2017. Im here for anyone who has questions before and after procedure of the sleeve. Im 6 months out and willing to lend an ear or advice to the best of my abilities, i really didnt have anyone when my journey began so would like to be there for you. My highest weight was 277 lost 50lbs on my own then gained then gained 30lbs right back, so i decided to have the sleeve. I was 244 the day of surgery, and now im at 181. I live in Independence Missouri and im 46 years old. I included before surgery pic and after, im so happy with my decision and would love to share my experiences this far.

I'm looking forward to my surgery but I'm scared of failing after I'm able to eat.

      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
