Had my surgery today, and I am feeling great. It was a little rough for the first out of recovery, but I've been so fortunate to have no gas and very little nausea. I'm feeling so positive and excited about this journey and have no second thoughts on my desicion. :)

Welcome to the otherside. I was the same and didn't have a lot of pain or gas, it was just a bit hard to get in and out of bed for about three days but then I have a really high pain threshold.

Best wishes on your new journey.

I completely anticipated it to be way worse then it was, but I'm also a big baby and usually have a low pain tolerance. I'm still feeling pretty good today, except I tend to do weird things in my sleep and ended up rolling onto my tummy in the night oooouchies!

Thanks for the well wishes, feels so great to begin this journey and start to heal :)

Congrats to you aswell amclapp, hope your feeling well!

I was banded on November 12. I feel the same way. I haven't had hardly any pain and very little gas. I was also anticipating alot more pain and gas. I keep expecting the pain to come any time now. I did a few errands yesterday and drove today. I am exhausted but not in pain.

I had my surgery yesterday. Surgery went great, no problems at all. Today has been terrible. So sick to my stomach. I have waves of nausea and feel like I am going to throw up. Scared to death to throw up. My left shoulder, side and chest hurt from the gas. And nothing seems to help. I had a hysterectomy in September and that was nothing. I debt think I was expecting this much pain. But I will survive!! :)

Are you home now? Did they give you a patch behind you're ear or a script for anti nausea meds? I left the hospital with the patch and a script! Maybe call your doc to let them know about the nausea, maybe they can give you something to help!

Yep I'm home. Came home right after the surgery. No patch, but I have the Phenergan gel to rub on my wrists. It helps but it doesn't seem like for very long...how are you??

I am really well now! The first 4 days were rough but I made it lol some of the nausea for me was borderline dehydration. Once I found that warm liquids helped (I used warm tea with Splenda) on day 4, I felt like a new person because I wasn't dehydrated anymore! It does get easier, hang in there :)

As a side note, watch caffeine cuz it can cause dehydration, if you have Decaf tea use that. I only had regular but it was a saving grace for me!

      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
