I had this a month ago and am so grateful for it. * I have replied to the comments, but they don't show up once posted. I don't know why, sorry about that! *
@@julesjefferson3568 go for it! I wish you all the very best. I am now nearly 7 months post surgery and I am transforming all the time. The impact its had on my health (physical and mental) is quite remarkable. Good luck! 👍🙂
@@julesjefferson3568 go for it! I wish you all the very best. I'm nearly 7 months post surgery and feel incredible. My life is continuing to change and my physical and mental health are transforming all the time. Good luck!
@@denisecovington8182 for me I finally felt in control. A huge sense of relief. I embraced every moment pre and post surgery. Sure it was a big adjustment and you learn along the way, particularly in the early days. Overall I didn't have a tough journey. Its been life changing for me in the best way possible.
Update from almost 3 months ago: I feel great. Lost 32kg (70lb). I can walk far distances, drink a healthy amount of water in 1 go and most importantly I’m already down 2 shirt sizes. This surgery wasn’t a must for me but I decided to get it anyways with the support of my family. The incisions are almost invisible and my loose skin is increasing drastically. Food quantity isn’t the biggest still as all I can consume is maybe 1.5 or 2 mozzarella sticks as a comparison. You feel absolutely zero hunger and I’m not snacking at all. I’m losing around 1-2kg per week (3.5lb give or take). If anybody is thinking about doing this procedure, GO FOR IT. For any further questions feel free to reply to this comment and I’ll try my best to answer once I see it.
@ I’d give the pain a 6 or a 5 post op. Wasnt the worst but it was more like annoying. Got discharged less than 24 hours after surgery and pain pretty much faded within a week
@@aymenemedjani6712 i followed a diet plan for the first 6 weeks. adding types of foods i could eat every week. now 4 months in i can eat everything except carbonated drinks.
Did you have high blood pressure or anything like that? I’m talking to my dr in January to plan this. I’ve never had any kind of surgery before. So this is major for me but I have high blood pressure so I’m scared my anxiety will make this process impossible
I was going to get bariatric surgery in 2010 but I backed up and was already in the process of getting it done I even did the testing , the classes and etc and was ready to get my surgery but I changed my mind and till this day my dr stills offers me bariatric surgery maybe one day I’ll change my mind and finally get the surgery done for sure I did my research about bariatric surgery, wls, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass for many years now 😊
I had this sx done a month ago in Tijuana, and thankful to God. I lost 30 pounds and happy. I throw up when i eat most times though but im not complaining.
@user-lv2fk5uc6e for me so far its been smooth sailings. The hardest part was trying to pee after the anesthesia. It like numbs you. But the pain was manageable and lasted only two days. I'm almost two weeks in and dropped 7 pounds already. Not hungry at all!
Just got this done 2 days ago… it feels like someone stuck their hand inside my body and scrambled my organs around 🙃 i can feel my insides moving around as if that hand is still on there
@@meganmoniz1465 yes the feeling went away the 2nd week! I feel completely back to normal. I just can’t eat the same spicy foods I used to eat before but other than that I am great. Also i’m down 75 pounds ❤️
@denisecovington8182 I got mine 1 month and a half ago and I'm feeling great! I've lost 44 lbs so far .. I feel satisfied with such a small amount of food now.. I dont regret getting my gastric sleeve one bit
Quick question.. the piece that is removed after stapling, is it removed from the body or remains in the body? If it gets removed, how does it come out?
It is removed from the body through one of the incisions. If it is too big to easily fit through the incision it can sometimes be cut up inside the body and pulled out in pieces.

7 days ago today for me. The hardest part is the larger incision. I've had no nausea whatsoever and the only pain is from the larger incision that isnt bad at all. From the start of the 2 week liver shrinkage diet plus 1 week post op, I have lost 30lbs.
If I go in for this surgery, I will be 65 by the time they would be doing the actual surgery. Is that too old? It scares me to think there my be issues do to my age. I am 5.1 and 197 lbs at 64 yrs old
No not at all. It will give you a better quality of life. And you’ll start feeling like your 30’s again. So worth it. Get it done girl. Enjoy life! ❤ Good luck to you 😊
Just got this done 4 days ago and my mom had the same surgery last year. She said this feels like when she had had her c-sections. Yea im never having kids lol not worth it
@@soothingtunes9247 well at the time I thought I was done with surgeries cuz this one was a doozy to recover from but this past April i had to get my gallbladder out too and the surgeon went through the same incisions that had just recovered. It was slightly easier to recover from. So what im saying is I still dont want to potentially have to go through that pain again a third time so it does what it says on the tin lol I dont think its that hard to comprehend

How was the pain when you woke up from surgery?

Did you follow any diet? Or you can eat whatever you want?

They offer it because they get paid for the surgery, if u can maintain your weight u don’t need it

Where did you get yours done at? And you still throw up 6 months after?
Dr. A?
Where did you get it? What doctor did your procedure? Thanks
How did you feel after surgery?
Literally in the waiting room to get this procedure done. Any post op advice would help.
How was it??

Had mine done 12 days ago. The WORST part were the gas pains....the rest is usual post op little pains here and there, nothing big.

@rahuldude007 it is pulled through the biggest one of the five incisions.
Did you gain the weight back over these years ? @@MissOne
@@asmaabakr-x3w i gained back 60 of 220. I'm back to losing now. I chronicled it on my channel. 👍🏾❤️😊
