How is the pain if u don't mind me asking

MzRobin its not bad at all! Just sore like you did a ton of sit ups and maybe pulled a muscle on one side (biggest incision and where they take out the stomach part) I fell asleep for 3 hrs and woke up in extreme pain but that was really it. Otherwise its been so smooth

That's good I'm not scared of the pain I'm just trying to gage it against the csections I've had

I too had a c sect. While I was in recovery was the worst! Took about 2 hours to get the pain under control. I think c sect was worse than this. I thought my insides were going to fall out with the section lol

Omg I'm freakin out about the damn drain as it is my date is this Tuesday. I'm calling my doc to find out how long I have to keep it. Gah!

I was freaking out too.. So I called my surgeon, and they told me that they don't use a drain tube. YEA!

I had my surgery on Feb 6. I've lost a total of 26 pounds since my 2 week liquid diet started. I did not have a drain. But I will say that i have had and still have pain. It is manageable but still there.

My worst problem that I am facing right now is the diet. I can't seem to eat what the dr wants me to. It goes right through me. :(

I was sleeved early 2/12. I spent the first 48 hours dry heaving. Not pleasant. I was terrified I was going to rip something open, but my leak test was negative. I stayed in the hospital an extra day to get control of the nausea. I got home late yesterday afternoon and have been fine. I'm able to take in liquids with no problem. Nothing sounds good to me tho. I still have gas pain, but other than my belly being tender, I don't have any pain at all. I have not taken any narcotic pain meds since day before yesterday. I took Tylenol last night since it was my first night in my own bed. I slept okay. I do have pretty bad heartburn which they say is normal. I started taking my Pepsid and hopefully that will help over the next couple of days. IF I continue to do well today with the Clear Liquids, I'm going to add another liquid to the mix. I feel I need some calories, I feel pretty tired and weak. Unfortunately everything seems to be going right through. At least I'm not constipated I guess. I've lost 10 pounds in a week which includes my time on pre-op diet. I walked quite a bit today and am now exhausted. Going to rest for a while. Hope you all continue to feel better.

Well not to brag but everyone is calling me a rock star! 30 hours after surgery and I am ready to go. Just waiting on a ride. I have had no issues with nausea or tolerating liquids or meds. I get to start puree tomorrow.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
