Was sleeved on Wednesday and also had a hiatal hernia repair. When I had my EGD, my surgeon initially said it was a small hiatal hernia, but when he got in there to do the surgery, I guess it was quite large. Got home yesterday around 6, still in some pain and not hungry at all. Trying to get my fluids in, but keep having these burp/hiccup things that hurt pretty bad. Been walking around the house and don't feel as bad as I anticipated, so I guess all in all doing ok!

The same thing happened to me. I had a low grade fever the morning after and I got scared but it went away on its own too.

I know what you mean! I must have had a look on my face because everyone kept telling me not to run off while I was waiting...lol there was a delay in getting the OR ready so it was a little nerve racking. Hang in there and don't run off, you will do great :)

hw far u out AND able to eat cheddar Soup

My doctor said I can have any soup I want as long as its diluted and ran through a strainer. It must be a liquid. Milk shake consistency would be to thick. I usually mix one and half can full of skim milk and the other half with Water. It's no thicker than the Protein Drink I get and it goes right through a strainer. I feel very confident in my doctor. He is extremely popular and has over 5,000 sleeves under his belt. If I ever have a question I call his office and they are wonderful. I'm on day 10.

I purchased my strainer at Walmart. It's the one with the smallest holes. I would compare it to the screens on your window.

      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.
