So I’m still at he hospital but no bleed in over 24 hours after stopping blood thinner. Hemoglobin is slowly rising so maybe all will be better tomorrow. Thanks everyone. It’s a little disappointing to have a set back.

So sorry you had complications. I really do know how you feel and want to encourage you not to be discouraged. If they’re keeping you in hospital it’s for the best. Many of us rush to get home after surgery but my daughter was in hospital 3 nights after gastric bypass and for 9 months post op she was sick with vomiting, kidney stones and eventually a complete bowel obstruction that required surgery. Please try to relax and know that if they’re keeping you longer than you expected, it means you need to be there. Better to spend one week in hospital than spend 9 months miserable and back in the hospital. Peaceful thoughts to you.

Had my sleeve in 1/28. So I’m on day 4 post opp. Was finally able to drink a whole Protein Shake. Took me an hour but I did it. I made the mistake of weighing myself and I’m up 15 pounds from Tuesday. I’m walking to get rid of the gas they pump us with but man—when you are sore and the scale goes up it’s frustrating!

Do not get on the scale! You're swollen, pumped full of fluids and air. Let your mind AND body rest and don't weigh yourself for a couple of weeks!

Gastric sleeve on Friday, 1/30, so I'm only 2 days out. Not feeling too bad except for the gas pains. But I've gotten really nauseous to the point of vomitting a couple times, only to have just air come out. I'm talking mouth sweats, excessive saliva, but no vomit. Anyone else experience this? Does it last long? Any suggestions?

You will lose that extra 15 and then some in the next 2wks. Don't sweat it. :)

I’m from the south- we never know what we will get in winter! The saying is- don’t like the weather then wait 10 min!

Was looking forward to going out and being active today. Made the mistake of putting Carys sf Syrup in my thinned cream of wheat. Abort mission ! Abort! Lol. Currently writhing in gas pain. Never bothered me before.... Lesson learned.

      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.
