The gas is the worst. My gas was trapped in my left shoulder. Is that where yours is? I put a heating pad on my shoulder which helped. For the other gas, you just have to walk it off. Some people take Beano. Hope is goes away. Congrats on taking the steps to become more healthy.

Hey! Banded earlier this morning as well! Gas in in my shoulder as well! Some in my back too! Its worse than the incisions! How many incisions do you have? I asked my doc about 2093 questions after the Surgery. I'm glad you are doing well, I'm happy for the both of us! :D

The gas is in my chest and collar bone area! I'm walking around a lot to get it moving! I'm kinda having buyers remorse ! What did I do to myself????

The gas is the worst thing. Try the heating pad for your shoulder it does help. The other just takes time to work its way out. I have 5 incisions. On day 5 you will start turning the corner and will be able to crawl in your bed on your side and sleep. It is wonderful. Right now you are having to sleep sitting up in a recliner right? Hang in there! Every day gets better and better. The very center of my back hurt. Why I don't know. Maybe it was trapped gas. It will all be worth it. Trust me! You do wonder what did I do to myself. I'm telling you on day 5 the worst will be over. Take little sips. My chest hurt alot. Not sure what that was all about but it was very uncomfortable. I think my band was spasming when I would drink something really cold. Try warm tea for it to calm down. That too went away after day 5. Hang in there!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
