Glad to hear! Only one incision of mine hurts. Every time I fall asleep a nurse comes in or my iv pumps starts beeping like crazy. Lol! Awesome nursing staff here so can't complain. Are you staying 2 nights? I'm also slowly switching pain meds from morphine to liquid loratab...I think they make it taste bad so u won't want to take it. Haha! ;) your table is so clean! ;)

Do you feel pressure on your chest area?

A liitle bit below the chest off and on. The vision was from the anesthesia wearing off.

Feeling good! Just got released and headed home to my own bed. How did your leak test go? I'm surprised they didn't do that while u were still under anesthesia.

How are you feeling?

Feeling better today. First two days were pretty bad with nausea and pain. Couldn't keep meds down, but I can now. i came home today. Trying to sleep it off. I still have chest pain when I drink cold things, but feel like I'm turning the corner.

One thing I can say I have not has nausea as of yet. Pain yes. Pain like from incisions. The pain is till there. chest pains come and go but I guess is just the process. I'm home now and I feel like ideas doing so much better in the hospital. I was able to bring my Meds down by crushing them and drinking it with Water.< /p>

Hey girls. I think I'm over the gas pains but 2 of my incisions still hurt. They are just tender and since I have a cold it hurts to cough. They are bruised pretty good but the bruises aren't huge. I don't even want to get on the scale yet. Lol! Are y'all wearing a binder around your stomach? I think it helps. I'm just sip sip sippin on Water right now. :)

      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.
