Recommended Posts

I'm looking for someone who can help go through this with me. I was sleeved Wednesday. I did experience minor complications, I am 20 and I'm the youngest patient m doctor has did. I failed my barium swallowing test the morning after surgery because my throat was so swollen. I also had horrible gas pains that medication wouldn't touch. It is now Friday and I finally got to come home. Doing much better just very sore, swallowing is alot better also!

Hey! I had my surgery the Thursday before you, and I'm eighteen! So I was the youngest my doctor has too! This just means we have a more speedy recovery!

Your throat was swollen because of the tubes irritating it? Did you get another leak test later?

Congratulations to both of you youngun's from a 64 year old. B)

No I didn't have to get another one done because i slowly tested myself. I can feel it going down and my throat makes a weird noise sometimes when I swallow. He said it could be from the tubes, or just being young. He said each person is different.

I am sooo sore today :(

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.

I have never heard of being young as a reason for a sore throat or noise when you swallow. But I am no doctor. Yes, each person is different.

The noise is gone now and swallowing is much better. I just swelled up more than most. But I'm back on track now and everything is

Normal.

Take your pain meds, get your walking in and concentrate on healing! Also an anti acid and Tums chewables are great for gas and swelling.

Chelsey and Teribearyy,

I'm a 64 year old guy who went through cancer treatment which devastated my body. I am 11 months out and working out like I'm 30. I lost over 100 pounds and healed up pretty quickly from the operation. If I can do well, so can you.

Everyone is different but I'd put money on the odds that those young bodies are going to do quite well. Elasticity and quick recovery are in your corner.

Use your new life well, young ladies. Conquer your bodies with your minds. We are here to help you if you need it.

        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
