SUPER late on this. I think I was one of the few that had a miserable post op. Surgery was Wednesday 4/25 and was discharged 4/27. STILL in some kind of pain to this day but it’s nothing like it was the first 5 days post op. Everything hurt going down... no matter how small the sip or the temperature.

Today is the first day I can “eat” without feeling a ton of pain. Following up with my surgeon on Monday so hopefully I’m feeling better by then! Every day is a little bit better. It’s really a day by day process.

Im so sorry to hear this. Was it your actual pouch that hurt or was it pain from a breathing tube or what? Im glad things are improving and good luck at your dr appt!

Mostly my new pouch and incision pain. For some reason my dr made the incision where he removed my stomach really big 🤦🏾‍♀️ that’s causing me the most trouble now. Hopefully at 2 weeks out I’ll be feeling better. Thanks!!

I'll watch and wait with you. I keep thinking of the old song
ME* MP *HIS and that's Memphis, Tennessee. Someday I'll visit there, not necessarily for a trip to Graceland, I've just always heard it is a very pretty city😝

Still here, still hanging out with you all. Have next important appointment May 24th. meeting with
Case Mgr- Nurse Practioner- Dietician
Thought first a "Hi Glad to Meet and Greet You" appointment but another,poster is meeting with same,group at HER hospital, this gives me renewed hope that,like her, this could be an immediate pre* surgical!
You see, I have completed another C.O.E. bariatric program twice, and now having to switch,to new C.O.E. hospital, if they have no other requirements, I could be an early-mid June Bug RnY. Hope-Hope-Hope!😛

      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.
