3 Days Post Op, Having Regrets



Recommended Posts

A low grade fever may indicate a little lung congestion too. Are you taking deep breaths and productively coughing? Im postoperative day one today and coughing hurts!

I was banded on Wednesday, April 18th. I think today has been the worse so far. Whenever I move around my insides hurt. I'm still walking for the gas pains and they are starting to leave. But stomach area is very tender and hurts to get up from a chair or bed. How long does this pain usually last?

I feel your pain. My little pug (16 pounds) stepped right on my port area...it felt weird. I hope it isn't messed up. I was so protective when I was freshly pre-op but since I have no pain or discomfort...I didn't think about it.

Thanks Cindysmom! Today was a pretty rough day and I'm not out of the woods yet. My GI motility is just not working for me. After a day of two types of laxatives and two enemas, i have to believe Tomorrow will be better.

No regrets

      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. 🤞
