I feel like someone stabbed me in the shoulder and turns the knife every so often. They say its from gas, so I am walking like crazy to get the air out. My side hurt a lil bit, but nothing major. Overall, Better than I expected.

I'm in the exact same boat I was expecting so much pain but it really is just the gas that is uncomfortable

Me too! I thought it would be so much worse! The hardest part is getting in and out of bed. My tummy does hurt a lot but while he was in there he also removed 2 huge cysts, 1 was right beside my tummy we didn't know about!

Im doing pretty good here also, glad everyones feelin a little better. Been up and doin my laps around all day. Walking has def helped. Looking forward to goin home tomorrow, well technically. Still have no power and now another storm is headed in our area tomorrow into thursday, so i guess thats also going to delay getting our power back. But headed to my grandmas to recoop.. She just got her power back so thank goodness i have somewhere to go.. Getting a lil stir crazy in the hospital. The heat or air or something here is broken, so it just blows hot air 24/7 in my room, i was literally sweating, they had to get me a fan that i have blowing on me.. Havent even slept with a blanket the entire time thats how hot it is lol. But not really feelin any pain as of this evening, im more annoyed with the oxygen in my nose.. Its sooooo annoying.. I hate it lol. Oh well, going to get some rest now.. Hope all the nov 5th and 6th sleevers are doin well.. Keep the updates coming.. :) god bless!

Hows everyone else doing?

I feel great today. I heard day two was suppose to be worse than day one, but it hasn't been. I got to see my lil stomach on the X-ray machine during the leak test. It's pretty cute.

Very much anticipating my apple juice!

As for me, day 2 post op, it's been a lot worse than yesterday. These gas pains are no joke but walking has helped. I'm feeling pretty good right now I just took some pain medicine and been munching on ice chips.. Just can't wait to head home tomorrow.

      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.

      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.
