Surgery Complete a few hours ago today.....



Recommended Posts

my surgery was 11am this morning & I left recovery @ 2:30. Doc said I did really well very routine...

Have to admit I am concerned because i'm starving!.... This is upsetting me.....i haven't eaten since 8pm ystdy but I was hoping the hunger pain would not be present.....

did anyone else have this post-op?

my pain is ok (4 on the scale) but I got my period this morning so I have cramps to go along with my hurt belly but all is good. I am so excited for what is to come!!!! I truly am.

I have no nauseous but I do feel gas coming on.... We will see. My throat was very sore when I first got to my room & my voice is very hoarse....I am super tired so I guess I should be resting while I can.....

will post again later!

hopefully I will wake up not hungry....is it normal & it is bothering me so much

I hope your feeling good. I remember just being out of surgery feeling that nothing was different about me, I almost couldn't believe it really was done. I was hungry the first few days but I think it was stomach acid. Most likely it will go away. It took me 5 months to really have that full feeling, so everyone is different. Welcome to the other side, Janine : )

Congrats to another IE (that's inland empire for you non CA peeps) sleever. You will do fine. The throat was the worse thing for me. They finally hit me with some spray that took care of it. Have them get you up and walking as soon as they can, really helps the gas. wishing you a speedy recovery.

Congrats on being sleeved!! I agree the hunger is probably acid. I didnt feel hunger at that point, but they had a PPI in my IV. It's weird how it gives a false hunger feeling. You could ask your dr or a nurse about getting something for it. It's great that you feel good enough to post so soon! I hope you have a speedy recovery!

It's great that you're up to posting!! All I did after surgery was sleep. No reading, almost no TV, just sleep. I can't speak for the hunger b/c I didn't have a problem with that. But, gas pains...walk!!!

Hi!!! I have to say...WOW!!! I can't believe u were able to make this post on the SAME day of surgery. I think just the fact that u did THAT is amazing!!!! Today is my 1st day not feeling sub- human. My surgery was Wed Aug 10th. And it's my 1st day that I just felt ok. But I will take it!!!!

Anyway I wanted to tell you that I was starving when I woke up from surgery!!! I have felt hunger since then but I'm allowed blended Soups so that satisfies me. My doc said it was just acid in my stomach. Not sure but it did freak me out also and it did go away. Don't worry!!! U are doing amazing!! Today is the first day I could even go on the computer. Just get plenty of rest and you should be fine!!! Best of luck to you!!! name='prairiedawn' timestamp='1306967712' post='158523']

        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
