I'm 13 days out tomorrow and the nerve pain in the incision is brutal! I'm trying to hold out until my 2 wk appt on Tuesday, but man this is the worst pain I think I've ever had!

I am 12 days post op and started feeling a pieecing pain on my right side as well but its not anywhede near my incision. Its almost as if i had a huge bruise in this spot and someone was pressing really hard in that area with their finger. The pain is probably two inches above and three inches away from my incision. It has bothered me all day to where i broke down and cried for fear that i may of pulled something internally on my sleeve.

That's how I feel but it starts right under the incision and goes around my back. Grrr.........I was doing so well!

Yes me too i felt like i was doing great considering the fact i struggled the first three days and had tl stay in the hospital but i can honestly say as far as much pain from the incision i havent had any. Its all been either gas(which is gone now) or lower back pain where i feel exhausted but now this pain has come along... Im glad to know that im not the only one feeling it and at that almost the exact amount of days out as you. I was so worried i maybe bent or turned wrong or lifted wrong. So i guess it has to be somewhat normal?

Gall bladder is good. I do take actigall twicw a day. I was told it is a little nerve damage and should subside.I was just fine until I got caught off guard with a huge sneeze. I pulled something I think. If I push the nerve in my back it does subside some. I have an appt Tuesday.

I saw the surgeon today. Since starting the preop diet I have lost 26lbs. Everything looks great. The right side pain is a pulled muscle and popped stitch caused by sneezing of all things! It is getting better but he says it will just take time. I was cleared for the treadmill and light weights so the gym will be my new friend! I started pureed foods today. I had tuna salad and cottage cheese. Mmmm! But I'M SOOOO STUFFED! It was delicious and I had no problems tolerating the heavier food.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
