Ok surgery over' date=' feeling sore and uncomfortable more than pain. The upper shoulders and chest from gas is the worse, my 5 incisions are various sizes, 1 about 1 1/2 in being the largest. My problem I have a nauseous feeling and I don't want to eat, only got down 2 of my 5 shakes yesterday and only about 16 oz. of Water. My shake is going down a bit better this morning hope this goes away soon and the soreness goes quicker, down 2 lbs this morning. I think I want something in my mouth to chew well maybe with some substances but have to wait 2 weeks for that don't I . I did have about 1/2 sf popsicle last night it helped, (don't think I was suppose to have it ? ) Would like to hear from others who have just had their lapband done are we on the same boat LOL and best wishes to all November banders[/quote']

I had surgery yesterday. I can't say that I am in pain but definitely uncomfortable. I am fine walking but turning over or trying to get out of bed are interesting. My dieticians gave one set of instructions & discharge paperwork another so I have to clarify that today. Otherwise all is well on my journey.

My pain is not bad either. I do have sharp pains in my gas I'm hoping it's gas. I can only sleep on my left side.

I'm down 2 lbs from yesterday. I can't get down hardly any liquids. I'm mostly scared of throwing up so im afraid of drinking. Also afraid of taking my Vitamins. Most of my pain is in my chest feel like a sharp knife digging inside of me.

Is your juice no sugar added? 4 oz wow. I can barely do 1 oz. I'm afraid of drinking too fast and throwing up

      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.
