My surgery was on 3/18 & I too am suffering with painful gas bubbles . It feels like a golf ball stuck. It helps to stretch my back & move it around.

Hi Everyone!!!

I had surgery on the 19th. I was feeling bad the first couple of days and kinda regretting the surgery (in my head didnt really tell anyone) but my mom too me out shopping yesterday and made me walk almost the whole day. I no longer have gas pains. I feel so much better. I am down 18lbs.

Does anyone feel like this? I'm still in denial that i've been sleeved and that I've lost 18lbs. It hasn't hot me yet.

I am just concerned that i am not taking in enough Protein. What is everyone else on? I am glad you guys are doing well. Please for Gas pains go to a mall and walk for about 2-3 hours window shopping. I woke up feeling so good things morning plus i slept so well.

Good Luck Everyone!!! :-)

Luckily no bad gas pains. I take walks to help with this. I was sleeved Mon and was horrible nauseous. I was not able to keep any liquid down and through mult I

Chest X-rays shower the opening to my stomach from the esophagus was almost closed. All the Fluid I took in would stay in my esophagus. A horrible feeling. Long story short I got Pneumonia in both lungs. Waiting to get a pic line and maybe sent home soon?. Nausea is better when I don't eat. What I wounded do for a big gulp sf lemonade. Trying to stay positive this too shall pass.

Prayers you get to feeling better and get home soon!

Haha...I'm also craving refried Beans but I'm not willing to have the gas pains from it. I'm looking forward to eating some creamy avacado with salt.

I too am so over the liquid thing. I'm trying to go walking to keep my mind off of the stuff that I want...it's getting really hard to get anything down. I was never into sweet things and other than the cream Soups, there is nothing appetizing at all! It's starting to worry me a lot.

      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. 🤞
