Great!! How are you feeling? Mentally you sound pumped. That's the way to handle it. I hope I am over this jittery feeling when it's my time in about 2 weeks. Good luck on your postop and beyond.

I'm actually feeling alot better than i expected. a little sore but pain meds and gas ex help a lot. i actually wasn't nervous at all until About2 hours before surgery. the doctor found huge hiatus hernia and had to fix also so he said i would be more sore than others. can't wait to lose weight and be healthy so ill have energy to play with my son

How are all the recently banded feeling?

I'm two days post-op and feeling ok. Sore and tight where my port is and hungry, but can only drink a little before I feel uncomfortable. Shoulder pain is easing today but I'm feeling like I need to burp and toot all the time!

I had banding today and I was pretty miserable until they adjusted my pain medication, then it as been tolerable. I am more comfortable sitting up than lying down. I'm not having any incisional pain but my stomach itself has a deep dull ache. I should get to leave the hospital tomorrow which would be nice but glad I was in tonight. I am not having any gas issues except for a small amount in between my shoulder blades which is to be expected especailly since they inflated my abdomen. I am not hungry yet but I think that is due to the pain medication aswell. Hope everyone else who has surgery thus far is doing well. I just keep reminding myself that it is all for the best.

Dont be afraid to ask for more pain medication if you need it. Everyone heals at their own rate and if you are hurting all the time you are less likely to be active which could lead to blood clots or pneumonia.

I am now two days out and still feel more comfortable sitting rather than lying down. I had terrible shoulder pain yesterday but today it's more in my abdomen. I started to feel hungry after about 36 hours. But after I have something to eat I feel very uncomfortable, and my tummy makes terrible noises!

I'm still on pain meds which seem to be helping. I am having gas problems as well. I feel like I want to burp but can't!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
