Surgery went well. Pain was horrible and had some nausea so they kept me til 10pm. Went and got meds at pharmacy after left hospital and the pharmacist gave my husband a spoon to use for the meds. Unfortunately he just figured out that is it tsp not tbsp so I have been in excrusiating pain all night and day. He just gave me the correct dose so hopefully I will be in drug heaven soon!

I feel the same way as you do, i have been in a great deal of pain since leaving the hospital. I took some of the liquid lortab but i dont think it helped that much. Heres to hoping we both start to feel better real soon! Actually today hasnt been that bad, its just standing up, then sitting down that hurts like hell.

Sorry you have been hurting! Since we got the med situation under control I have been feeling much better. I have had a lot of nauesa though so I have been taking the Zofran. I called my drs office today and asked if I could take something else for pain and they said I could take liquid ibuprophen so I have been taking that every 4 hours as well. I haven't been able to eat much and I have been a little worried about that. I'm gonna start another topic about that and get some advice. I was able to eat about 1/4 cup of my protien shake and about a cup of broth. I also had about 3 small spoons of Jello. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I know I'm not getting enough liquids in. Let me know how you are. I am so excited I have a friend going through this with me. Talk to you tomorrow. sleep well!

      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.
