Tomorrow's My Day. My Surgery Is Scheduled For 7am At The Omega Hospital In Metairie, La. I Am Very Excited And Also A Little Nervous. I Guess My Biggest Concern Is If The First Couple Of Days Of The liquid Phase Is The Hardest To Endure. Thanks For Listening And I Will Talk Back With You All Soon After I Am Banded.

Good luck, Dlogan!! And remember, the liquid phase is only temporary. And you may be one of the lucky ones who feels no hunger for weeks after banding. (Hey, it's possible!)

Come back and let us know how it goes. You're on your way!! :):D :D

dlogan: GOOD LUCK on your surgery tomorrow. I will have you in my prayers. It is exciting and scary all at the same time. I almost hyperventilated going into the OR during my surgery. LOL!!

Hope your surgery goes great and you have a quick recovery. As far as "liquad phase" I have found that even the smallest amount of Soup fills me up. You may be pleasantly supprised how little hungar you feel. I know I was!

Congratulations! The liquid phase isn't that bad -- I say that because I wasn't really hungry during the first two weeks. (Not everyone has that reaction.) Let us know how you're doing.

Thank You All For Replying And Wishing Me Luck Prior To My Surgery On 03-21-05. My Surgery Went Very Well. I Was Scheduled For 7am That Morning And After 3pm That Afternoon, I Was Discharged Home. I Only Experienced Soreness With My Incisions, But The Gas Pains Were Bothersome. My First Post-op Visit Was 03-28-05 And I Weighed In At 207 From My Pre-surgery Weight Of 217. I Am Doing Very Well. The Liquid Phase Was Not Bad At All, Because I Really Did Not Feel That Hungry. My First Fill Will Be On 04-28-05. I Will Update You All Later On My Progress. Thank You All For Your Prayers, Support, And Listening Ears.

Love,

Dlogan

      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.
