Sleeved 9/4 Im In Pain



Recommended Posts

I'm glad you are feeling a bit better! And hopefully your hubby is as well :) I also had to try a new med for nausea because zolfram just was not working. I've been feeling pretty good still. Some soreness at incision sites, though. I'm so ready for purée!

I think Tuesday was the day for issues because, I got stuck back in the hospital for blood clot and pnemonia issues. I may get out tomorrow.

I'm feeling more like a human today! I have passed a decent amount of gas. My incisions have just been hurting like crazy' date=' but are starting to feel better today. I decided to wear one of my compression shirts and that is helping a bit also. I was just so nauseous. And the meds for that don't work for me apparently. They had to alternate 3 different ones in the hospital. I build up a tolerance for things very quickly. Luckily my husband has been my rock through all of this! He is better to me than I could have ever have asked for. Thank you for all your help and support.[/quote']

Glad you are feeling better! I have been slowly getting better also. I may actually sleep in a regular bed tonight instead of a recliner. I hope so anyways. :) Where did you get a compression shirt? That could help me bc my tummy is so swollen and sore. It is awful. I'm definitely ready to be able to do something besides sit in this house. I'd be happy to go grocery shopping for food I can't eat at this point. haha

If you are looking for additional tummy support try a Belly Band that mom's use after having a baby. You can find them in the maternity sections of Target sometimes...As a nurse we use them for our c section mom's and they say they really work

I hear ya! I've bought so much useless stuff because I needed to get out of the house. I've been to the Mall and TJ Maxx and I just make sure I have a cart and go slow. I don't have much soreness, but I'm still thinking about one of those compression bands too.

My dr always sent me home with a binder.. I felt no pain after lap band or the lap band removal..i think bc of the binder!!! Keeps everything tight! I have my revision on 9/17 and I'm bringing my old binder just in case something changed!!!

Hope you are feeling bettere.

      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.
