I was absolutely Blessed I had Zero issues. The only discomfort I had was from my Haital hernia. The sleeve was perfect and I’m losing every day. From 240 to 222 now. Surgery on March 8th. Just know everyone’s journey is different, everybody body is different. I know people who had pain after surgery and got sick or had dumping syndrome, me however had no issues.

My first couple of days were tough given the issues with trapped wind. But that’s abated. Been walking since Day 2 - slowly increasing the time spent each day. Going for 40 mins today. Have already lost 10.9kg (24 lbs) which is really encouraging.

Wow that's an amazing progress congratulations! I've lost 10 pounds in 6 days and thought that was a lot! Felt my first hunger pang this morning and panicked a little.

I just got my surgery March 22 . The gastric bypass. After surgery it was very painful. But gets better with some time. You will feel like you can drink much at all. Good luck!

Hi all

How's everyone doing? Hard to believe that today's the end of the first two weeks.

I've been so very pleasantly surprised at how well this second week has gone. I'm having the best sleep I've had in years, and still amazed at how little I feel like eating. The hardest thing seems to be ensuring I drink sufficient water!

      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
