Each surgeon's plan is different. The right way is to stick to the plan you were given by your surgeon.

I’m just worried if works I’m unable to really see until I can start some type of food intake I drink liquids fine that’s not the issue I’m just concerned that my stomach sealed correctly and how long does that take

You're worrying for no reason. If your stomach wasn't sealed correctly, you would know. It doesn't require food intake to test that.

Just relax and follow your surgeon's plan :)

Take each new stage slowly, a tiny taste at a time, and wait, and only take a couple bites. Any real food introductions need to be done slowly to see how your stomach will react, as you are not healed. It is different for everyone.

That's why he said to wait,2 weeks, he cares about,you more than that says start eating,nuts, popcorn and such right away. I doubt I'll ever eat popcorn again, no loss when you consider what I'll be gaining. So I will listen to my doctors advice, they know what they did and how they did it. As a bypass,the last thing to heal for me will be my anastomosis where they join my intestine to my stomach pouch, that is timed in months,instead of days or weeks. NBT no big thing , I know I will be just fine and dandy😝my surgeon is the very best I could have found, I trust him, I trust his hands, why would I not trust,his advice?😷🏣😝

      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

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
