Elyssa, I'm feeling better day by day, the inscion site is still terribly painful and It feels like someone beat the heck out of my abdomin. I get my staples out tomorrow and I think he is going to tell me I can eat mushies:). I'm not very hungry during the day but at night I start to get cravings, but thats Ok, cause I can't get down more than 2-3 oz at a time. I am only getting down like 500 cals a day, because I get so full so quick, which is awsome but I'm worried about not getting enough nutients. I totaly agree it's nice to know someone else is going through the open surgery blues.

I'm scheduled for surgery on 3/11. I've had a hysterectomy and colon surgery and my doctor told me he might have to open me up if there is too much scar tissue. I sure hope he doesn't have to do it but even if he does it can't be any worse than the other two and it'll be worth it to get rid of this horrible weight I carry around.

Good luck to you and hang in there.

Hi everyone I'm doing much better now that I'm mushy foods. It taste so good, but now I worry that I'm eating to much. I don't get my first fill until March 26st.

Sorry your surgery didn't go as planned, but hang in there. I was banded on the 13th too. Your feelings are normal. Sometimes I get to the point and I say, I wish I would feel normal again. My port discomfort is finally going away. Just know that it takes time to heal. You will be fine, keep those positive feelings and recovery will seem much better.

      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. 🤞
