Recommended Posts

Soooo I'm 4 days out and other than having normal pains, I was doing fine until yesterday and I started to run a fever that got up to 102. I called my surgeon and he told me that sometimes the anesthesia can cause Fluid to gather in the lungs and he told me to use my spirometer more often, and sure enough the fever went down and I felt much better. Today I woke up and my stomach kind of hurts in the normal way it has been, but my stomach feels more swollen than before and slightly distended. I don't have any more pain than I have been, I'm just a little concerned. Hoping that there aren't any leaks. What are the usual symptoms?

Well, I haven't had the fever since yesterday. Doing more breathing like my doc said got rid of that fever in just a few hours. I'm just worried about more abdominal swelling and pain, but it seems to be getting better.

Did u have a bum yet? R u passing any gas? What r u taking for pain medicine? Be careful if its tylenol bc that can mask fever. I had my surge one Monday too!

I'm taking hydrocodone for pain. I just started having bowel movements (if that's what you call them)last night around 3am, so I'm wondering if somehow that doesn't have something to do with it.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
