When did you feel good post op



Recommended Posts

Jamee - the stomach rumbling might be acid. Did your surgeon prescribe you any kind of antacid or reflux script? My only stomach rumbling has been due to gas, I do not feel hungry at all and only eat because i am supposed to.

Jmiller - I have a case of Protein drinks from costco but I'm not supposed to start them until day 6 or until I have a bowel movement.

Well...I had intense left lower pain for several weeks and thought something major had gone wrong. The doc kept telling me it was the muscle healing after all of the stitches inside he had given me. One day not log after that, I woke up pain-free. It has absolutely left and I have lost 42 lbs and am doing great. I wouldn't change a thing now, even with the pain to endure. It will pay off.

I don't know my BMI was 31 so I don't know if they go on that or maybe the Doctors preference. My mom had one with a Tummy Tuck and she said it wasn't that bad.

I feel better each day, however, Today I have been dizzy again. :( 8 weeks out +-

and at dinner- had 3 bites and ended up vomiting it all.

and so it goes... somedays are good- some are not so...

the best part of the sickness- almost always gives me a weight drop :D

I'm glad your dropping pounds but not like that. I hate feeling dizzy and throwing up. What does the Dr say?

The rumbling is after I swallow drinks or my sugar free pop

Pop as in soda pop? That is a big no-no. The carbonation will expand and stretch out your sleeve.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
