Three Weeks Post Op And Pain



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on November 6 and I thought I was doing okay and last Friday I threw up and felt like I pulled something on my left side close to the bottom of the rib area. I called the doctor on Monday and they said not to worry and it was better on Monday and Tuesday now today the pain is back. Has anyone else had this?

I've had a stabbing pain in the lower right side of my abdomen-- below my largest incision. I was also sleeved Nov. 6.

I saw my surgeon yesterday so he could be sure I was okay. He checked me for a hernia, hematoma and infection.

Everything looked good! He told me it was probably a muscle spasm. He said that because they have to cut through those strong abdominal muscles it's very, very likely that I'd have pain there. It should go away soon, hopefully!

It has been a week and a half and my pain is no better at all. I called the doctor and he said not to worry but this is really a long time to deal with this much pain. I have not been to the gym since the day before Thanksgiving and am really afraid working out will cause me more pain. Not sure what 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. 🤞
