So scared

I'm on the 17th. I feel the SAME way!!! My dentist's assistant had it done last year. She said she was connected to a morphine pump and pushed the button literally every 20 minutes b/c she was scared of feeling any pain. Overall, she said, she did not feel anything and didn't even need her pain meds when she was discharged from the hospital. I'm praying I have the same outcome. I can deal with a little discomfort but I in no way shape or form want to be in severe pain. OMG. I'm so nervous about that. I expressed this concern to my doctor and he thought I was being dramatic. lol. But he assured me I wouldn't be in pain just a little discomfort. We'll see...!

I felt pain the most on the day of surgery and 2 days later when I got home. Most of it is from gas which is why they insist on the walking.. Once I passed the gas. I Found that the pain is tolerable. I have not had any pain meds since I left the hospital. Keep in mind that everyone is different and may feel differently. This is just my experience

It was kinda weird, but most ( if not all) of the pain was from the gas! Yeah I was "sore" from the surgery, but no pain. The gas on the other hand....what a pain in the butt! I'm two weeks out and getting better everyday.

I was sleeved on June 29th - weEk ago today. No pain now, just numbness around the laproscopy sights. I would give anything for a glass of water!! LOL Get sugar free popsicles...they will save you! I swear! Good luck. Now to figure out how to post my own stuff. HA

First off there is no need to be scared you'll be in the hospital and they are trained to deal with people in pain and will take all necessary steps to make sure you are comfortable.

Second, I 100% agree with the others! Gas pain was uncomfortable but treated well in the hospital and once I got up and walked it went away quickly. No real pain from the incisions just sore as mentioned before.

You'll be in the best hands if you're in pain after the procedure so just ask for what makes you comfortable and they'll accomidate you. And get SF Popsicles they are great if you can tolerate the cold!!!

        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
