Good luck! 2nd day was a bit rough for me, but today I haven't needed any pain meds since my morning IM shot! I opted to ask for one before bed just because I have a long day of travelling ahead of me and wanted to make sure I can sleep well, but I think I would've been fine without it.

Hey guys! I had my surgery to day and it went absolutely perfect. We got the IV started the first try which is a big shocker for me and my small veins. I woke up and the only slight discomfort I had was in my shoulder from a gas bubble. I was walking within 1 hour of being returned to my room. I was only able to pee a little bit due to the spinal block. I felt great when I could finally do so. Im feeling very grateful and overwhelmed by the kindness of Doctors Aceves and Campos. They are extremely gracious. i would recommend this place to anyone wanting the surgery. The facilities are very clean and the nurses are very quick to your side. Very Very sleepy. Better go for now. Good night my VSG family.

Good to hear it went well. My recovery was quite uneventful, too - first night was a bit rough, but that's it. Today is my 5th day and after popping a supradol in the am, I:

1) drove to my doctor's

2) drove back to my house, then walked and took the bus to the counselor's office

3) took the bus back home

4) met for lunch with friends - they ordered pho and I just had about 3/4 cup of the broth over the course of the hour we were there

5) went and bought some stuff at the pet store

And the night's still young, so I'll probably be heading to my boyfriend's grandma's house to grab some stuff! Pretty amazing considering I just had surgery Monday! So it will probably continue to be smooth sailing for you. I have occasional thoughts of certain foods (none of them are that unhealthy, actually, I just can't have them for another 2 weeks or so - Greek yogurt, tuna sashimi), but they are nowhere near as obsessive as my cravings used to be.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
