Am miserable. Can't sleep, in pain and the liquid lortab makes me sick. I look at my distended belly with the giant holes in it and really question if I made a mistake. It's too late now.

I would call the dr tomorrow and see if they can change your pain med or give you something for the nausea from the meds...either Phenergan (will make you sleepy) or Zofran (won't make you sleepy).

I have my surgery on the 17th and wondering how I will feel after.

Hope you feel better soon!!

Sorry you're in so much pain : / I'm 5 days out and as weird as it is, the 4th day was the worse for me. I laid in bed all day...I swear if I get clots it will be because of yesterday! The loritab isn't helping me much either...But tylenol Pm is...They told me not to take pills yet but sent me home saying I can take one of my regular meds that's a 1 gram pill...it's huge!!! So I figured tylenol pm wouldn't hurt plus it really helps me sleep! I'm starting to have a lot of back pain from sleeping in the same position. I can't wait till I can lay on my side all the way! Have you been using a little pillow against your stomach every time you get up and down? That has been a life saver for me!!!

THe Phenegren knocked me O-u-t! I couldn't take any other pain meds. Do you have a drain? If it's gas, try walking. I know you don't want to hear that but it really does help. I hope you feel better and this is the hardest part. I thought the exact same thing post-op! I wanted to rewind time but I am 19 days out now and it's sooooo much better!

Thanks everyone. Took a walk around my house for about 20 mins and crushed up a xanex. I know he also fixed a hiatial hernia. I wonder if that could be part of it? My drain was taken out at the hospital thank god.

      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.
