Hi rmartone3: You will have some type of pain reliever, but it will be different for everyone. I will not have morphine, since I am allergic to it. Good luck with your surgery.

TQUAD64! How exciting! So far, it looks like we are on the only ones on the 11th.

I had the option to have surgery on the 14th but my birthday is the next day and I did not care to be on the hospital on that day. (my doc requires an overnight stay for everyone)

PLUS, it will put me that much closer to mushies by Thanksgiving. We are going to a HUGE family dinner that day and being on liquids will stink.....but will still be sooooooo worth it, if I am.

Hi All Notorious Novembers...

I have an official change of date (hopefully the last one), I will be having surgery in December of this year. Just wanted to wish each of you well on your journey with the band and i.e. getting healthy! It seems like a pretty good group going on as good support for one another! Blessings! Roseyyyd1:redface:

      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.
