I noticed the most the morning after my surgery. That was actually the worse part for me!

I'm going on the second day and still nothing. I hope I don't get it because it sounds pretty horrible. I burped a couple times and that's it. I've also walked the hallways 4 times and down to my upper gi.

It started like maybe the next day for me too. The naturally occurring gases that occur in the stomach now have no place to go on the swollen traumatized tiny sleeve, so it must come out the easiest way possible - a burp. Until the swelling goes down this is a common and sometimes painful occurrence.

Just to be clear, this is NOT the gas they inject during the surgery to puff up your abdomen to get clearance for surgery. That gas is almost all removed afterwards and what little remains is adsorbed readily in a few hours post op. Is is just carbon dioxide. It is a popular myth that this gas somehow ends up in the stomach itself or somehow mysteriously migrates to and number of places (elbows, shoulders and backs to name a few). This just isn't the case, now IRRITATION from the gas being injected and stuff puffing up and getting tugged and prodded, pulled or otherwise moved around during surgery CAN explain most of the pains, but the gas itself is long gone. Sometimes the nerves that run through the abdomen just get irritated and misfire and give you mysterious pains in seemingly unrelated areas.

        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
