Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm getting the SIPS procedure as a revision from my gastric sleeve. It’s a fairly new procedure compared to other weight loss surgeries. Has anyone gotten this procedure, if so, Pls share your progress and experience 😊

Hi! I had my SIPS surgery about 2 and a half weeks ago at Blossom Bariatrics in Las Vegas. They specialize in helping out of state patients and the whole thing from consultation, meeting with the dietician, EGD, pre-op/post op checks are included in 5 days and you get to go home. The only thing not included was the care companion which I had to pay additional for to help me after my surgery. The care companion is optional and if you have someone who can go with you and take care of you after surgery then you don’t need that. I went alone and everything was included in the price quote plus hotel, transportation, surgery etc.

hope this helps. If you have more questions just let me know

I had my SADI—S 6 months ago. I started out at 393 pounds. I was 368 on surgery day, and as of today I am 269. My surgery went great but I did experience nausea and some vomiting the first few days and had to stay in the hospital 3 nights. After that, recovery was a breeze and I barely had any pain. My scars are pretty small and have already faded a lot.
Most importantly, I feel amazing. I am hoping to get under 200 pounds.
I love the restriction from the sleeve part of my stomach. My biggest problem was always Portion Control and it's wonderful to feel satisfied with such a small amount of food. I am so happy I chose this surgery. I would do again without question!
I'll be glad to answer any questions you have!

      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. 🤞
