Congrats! I was released yesterday afternoon and can I just say... OUCH!!! One question for all of you post opers' date=' how long did you stomach gurgle and hurt with even tiny sips of Water? It hurts so bad to drink![/quote']

The gurgling took about a week and the pain/weird feeling when swallowing took a little over a week. It gets better everyday!

Gurgling is decreasing slowly - although as soon as my intestines started working again they jumped into the gurgling too, now I am just a symphony of weird digestive noises all day. Pain was gone pretty much after day 3 or 4 except when I take too big of sips.

Thanks everyone. I'm definitely forcing myself to walk, take deep breaths with my incentive spirometer, and get my Fluid in.

I started my liquids an hour ago and I'm having the same issue. Water goes down, and a painful air bubble comes up. Hopefully it's only temporary!

I would try apple juice or crystal light. They say the composition of Water will do that sometimes. I am having a difficult time with water as well. The nutritionist consult I attended pre-op warned that might happen, apparently it is very normal.

      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.
