20 Hours Post Op...feel Good...will It Get Worse?



Recommended Posts

I'm 20 hours out! Im home and feeling pretty good considering I just had surgery! Everything went smoothly and now just walking lots to get rid of these gas pains. Really the only pains I have occasionally.

Those of you already banded, did you find first day was worst? I keep being afraid I feel too good and it will later get bad! Lol

Any tips for this first day? Have been trying to walk walk walk!

My first two days were great!! And the next 5 after that were really tough. It really depends on each individual person. Best of luck!!

I felt I had a pretty simple recovery as well. I was sore but I expected a lot worse. I'm sure everyone heals at different paces but mine was pretty good.

I'm glad to hear that all went well with your surgery and that so far you have had a good post op with discomforts. Hopefully, I will get Banded early August.

Sounds like you're doing great!! Day 3 and 4 were the bad days for me. Terrible gas cramps and left shoulder aching. It's all worth it though!!

My first 2 days were great. The next 4 days were up and down. Today I feel better Just a little nauseous but nothing to take medicine for. Overall it has been pretty good.

Days 3-5 were the absolute worst.

I had a really easy post-op experience. My worst was probably about a week to a week and a half out when the port area started hurting a bit. It wasn't bad, felt like a really bad bruise. I attributed it to the muscle healing around where the port was stitched in.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
