She's Baaaaaack (From Surgery--Lol)!



Recommended Posts

CJ--I just had surgery with Dr.Kelly on July 2nd, and I also vomited the entire first two days...and nights!! It was horrible!!! We must have had the same doctor...who wasn't free with pain relief!!

I am not nauseous anymore, but Each time I swallow food or liquid, I get a stomach cramp, and I can feel it going through my system and then it is done. Did you experience this? Sometimes it isn't even after food or liquid consumption. Gas??

Thanks,

Pam

No way!! Not you too??? I thought I was the only one. It's probably too late now, but like i said, things changed after I told Dr, Kelly.

To answer your question, if you had surgery July 2nd, you SHOULD NOT yet be having food!! (I hope you just mis-typed.) But I do recall that for the first 8 days after surgery, when I would swallow liquid, I could feel it go all the way down and then kind of get stuck at a certain spot. But by day 8, that feeling magically went away. So I wouldn't worry too much. :)

Thanks for sharing. I had no vomiting. That must have been awful! My worst problem was gas pain the first day. Haven't had any nausea. All in all, pretty uneventful.

You are hilarious!! Thank you For sharing your ups and downs, so that the rest of us can see what it might be like. I agree, I HATE being sick. I focus on only that as well. Like a Migraine. I'm usually pretty certain I'm going to die.

"What sorta place is this?" I LOL'd. You should write for a living! Maybe you do?

I'm glad you made it out and had a good overall experience.

Thank you soooo much for posting this. I will be sleeved in exactly two weeks and have been having some major anxiety and sleepless nights second guessing my decision. This really helped. :)

      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.
