I'm 3 weeks out & still feel that discomfort/pulling pain on right mid quadrant area. No need for pain med buy its there. Had to call in this Monday due to severe excruciating pain. Called doc said it sounded muscular/incisional, advised to take pain med, apply heat, & rest. All better by Tuesday!

Day 4 or 5 was much better. I didn't have to have help sitting up at that point and I didn't need pain meds.

The pain is described as if you had a c section and when you get up you feel the muscle pushing. When is was in the hospital I have the reclining bed which was so much easier to get out of bed but now back to readily I need to get up from my bed and I feel every single muscles in the stomach. Today is my 3rd day of operation and instill have the pain when I get up even walking need to walk extra slow. I had my gall bladder taken out when I was 19 and after the week I didn't have those pains anymore.

I had a wicked amount of pain in 2 out of the 6 incisions. I would literally hold them (they were right next to eachother) when I walked because I felt like they were tearing. It took about a week to go away. Two and a half weeks post op and I have NO PAIN in my abdominal area anymore.

Good luck with your healing!!

I had surgery yesterday. 5 incisions. Today I feel much better despite a minor comfort on one of the incisions. I think I will be in a speedy recovery so I hope. Hope this month passes quick.

Nope I am back home. I am having trouble passing out the gasses. I try everything walking, gas x strips but nothing seems to help. I slept more last night than what I did in the hospital. Now about the liquids.., I hope I can take my entire bottle of Isopure. Crossing fingers.

Today, at day 10 I would say today is the first day that I feel zero incisional pain.

I am still having shoulder problems but when I had a lapband that lasted weeks, which I do not think is typical.

      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
