I was sleeved on March 4th and I,m feeling good the only time I hurt is when I bend over with pants around my waist, if I pull the pants down the pain is much less. The pain is on the right side above the belly button. Is anyone else having this type of pain? I see my doc on Wednesday I'll be sure and ask him.

YES!! And at almost 2 weeks out it happened to me out of nowhere. I had to call md at night n Doc said the main stitching inside is right there. It's healing and as you're losing weight it's pulling too. It was horrible, I couldn't bend down or walk straight up. Take pain med and use heating pad. Was better 12 hours later.

I was super tender and was very protective of my abdomen for at least a month (maybe 6 weeks?) - I wore suspenders under my shirts instead of a belt as well - way more comfortable!

Thanks that a bit of a relief I was a little worried other than that its been smooth sailing. I could hardily get out of bet this mourning.

I like the suspenders idea did you where shirts that didn't need to be tucked in?

I had pain like this when I had my GB out - it is normal, as veronica said. i also attest that a heating pad works wonders! :)

I have the same pain. I'm 3 weeks out tomorrow. I just noticed today....as I got up from the couch that my stomach wasn't hurting as bad. I feel like I'm finally healing inside.

I had surgery on 12/18. The pain does eventually go away. I was told it is from the stitches internally. Everything gets better day by day. I remember that pain and glad it finally went away.

Yeah, so I can wear jeans to work, so I would wear jeans, a white undershirt (tucked in), the suspenders and then a nice long or short sleeved collared shirt over it all.

        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
