3 days out from being sleeved



Recommended Posts

Ok it's been three days since I was sleeved. I came home yesterday. I am in so much pain. I have walked and walked and walked. Luckily I have finally passed gas and that made me feel so much better. I begin to ask myself why did I do this to myself. I am not a happy camper. I have cussed myself up one side and down the other. But my doctor says that I'm doing really good b/c I doing alot of things on my own. I just want all of this gas to go away.

If you read on here, a lot of people, actually most, have gas. AND almost all have "buyer's remorse." Don't beat yourself up too bad. You will be so happy once you feel a little better. I have not been sleeved yet, 10 days!!, but I have read so much to know what you are feeling is normal and everyday will get better!

Then when you are a little ways out, you will be so happy you did it!

Good luck to you!

Kelly :D

Walk, Walk, Walk!

It really does seem to help the gas go away. When I was first out I think all I did was sip, walk, rest. Boring but it seemed to work. Good luck and I hope that gas goes away quickly!

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear. Well just keep in mind this is with any surgery- its not because you got sleeved, you have "done this to yourself". My father just had prostate surgery, and he had the same gas pains. Now I see what I have to look forward to when I am sleeved in a couple of months. But from what I've read, after the gas has 'passed', it is all better after that. I hope you feel better soon!

I was sleeved on the 6th so now officially one week, the first few days are the worse, In minnesota they keep us in the hospital for 3 days, the nurses really keep you on a schedule of pain med/nausea meds and walking really helps, also on Clear liquids for 7 days after surgery. I did not feel that I had so much "gas" pain, I had just downright pain, in the middle of my stomach. I does get better, today was my best day so far. Hope you feel better soon and lots of happy weight lost to you.

        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.

      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
