What are BEST side effects of WLS for you besides the WL?



Recommended Posts

Can’t believe no one has mentioned this yet... my fiancé and I often pack together in one suitcase. She would complain because I took so many clothes. “You’re taking up all the room!!” I realize now I wasn’t taking more clothes, my clothes were just so much bigger. My small-body clothes allow me to pack even more and take up less room!

I'm only 3 weeks post-op and 30 pounds down, but I already can breathe better and actually go on walks/climb stairs. It's really nice.

Doing amazing! I hope you have been too. In fact, I have something additional to post in this thread that I only just experienced tonight.. like 20 mins ago. I LOVE EXERCISE NOW. Really, it's true! I'm not able to go all out yet, but I just did a 30 min power walk at night when it was like 50 degrees. I felt alive for the first time in a long while. Mind you all, I live in a REALLY safe area so I'm not too concerned about walking at night.

Also about the weight loss, I lost the 30 pounds in the pre-op diet and the post so far. 33 pounds today since Feb. 2nd when I last weighed in before starting the pre-op diet.

      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. 🤞
