Dr. C should have given you Bentyl for the spasms... are you taking it? It helped me a lot. I had mild spasms, not that bad and it only lasted a few days. By day four at home I was off the med. Feeling awesome ever since! You'll do great, you had the best surgeon, just give it a few days :)

I'm sleeved!!! Wasn't as bad as I thought but there's one thing I wasn't warned or even read about..... does or did anyone get stomach spasms when drinking or eating??? And how long did I t last?!

Okay sorry it's been a bit since I posted....

He did send me home with Bentyl, Omeprazole, Reglan.

I stopped having spasms probably within a week after coming home from the hospital. Thank god. The M.D., PA and Rns said it was spasms when I would drink anything.... as soon as anything hit my stomach it would spasm. not so much gas pains... the hospital and the drs said it was their number one complaint.. the GI cocktail helped a lot too! My surgeon is amazing... I would do this all over again.

I do think that they are helpful! Everyone you meet has info that you might not have know before and Its always good to feel welcomed into a group with open arms...I usually feel like Im the odd ball due to my weight or the wls journey Im choosing to take so its nice to be among people who are just like you! Its always good to see the people who live in the same place as you do. It makes everything seem like its possible to do.

      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.
