Curious, do any of y'all have left side pain? My doctor told me right before he took me back that I would have left side pain for a while because its the biggest incision and it would be stitched down to a muscle. That incision is still sunk in and my side hurts. It's day 11 and I thought it would be over by now. Any one else??

New mommy, mine hurts! I actually scared myself into thinking it was major yesterday lol. So I spoke with the nurse and she said its normal. It's the insides healing up. It should be gone within a week. Feel better!

My biggest pain is in my top incision, right under my breast none/sternum because that muscle is used the most and the "girls" hit it too, lol. My largest incision is right in the center of my stomach...where they pulled the stomach, hiatel hernia and gallbladder through....

Suppositories! Every 4-6 hours with everything else going on... leave my butt alone! That would've annoyed me! I have liquid tylenol.

Brandnew...I totally agree and cracked up when I read this!!!

I hear ya! I think mine is extra sore today because I spent 6 hours at the mall yesterday at legoland. I think I just overdid it. I'm drinking fine so I'm not worried. The sucker hurts though!!

Yikes! Note to self: find an allergy med I can take after surgery and do NOT forget to take it! I sneeze quite a bit this time of year (I live in the edge of a valley which is farming country, and there's a lot of haying that happens this time of year) ...

Thanks for the warning!

        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
