Alyjourneys 117 Posted May 24, 2013 I finally feel good. Since I was a revision from a vbg to vsg, it took them 4 hours to do my surgery on Wednesday. I had a lot of scar tissue plus a conversion from a vbg to vsg is not always easy and usually they end up doing a by pass, so i feel very fortunate. They finally did the UGI this morning and no leaks and out went that nasty NG tube. Yay. Had my first meal and no issues there either. I will be staying here till Sunday and I'm ok with that. Wondering how the others are doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alyjourneys 117 Posted May 24, 2013 Not as good as you but I am thinking maybe I am a wimp! Lol! My surgery was Wednesday and I am whining about the gas pains lie it is my job! I was Wed too. I did a lot if walking and really didn't struggle to much with it. I mean I feel the pressure down below of the gas coming out but not painful. I don't think you are a wimp. We all react differently. Till 12ish I was having serious depression because of the NG tube. Now it's out and I feel much better. One day at a time. Have you been walking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0tracy0 6 Posted May 25, 2013 I had my surgery on Wed as well. Just got out of the hospital today. I had some vomiting and some cramps. I'm not in a whole lot of pain. Thank God. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen35 283 Posted May 25, 2013 I had my surgery Wednesday as well. I came home Thursday evening, but I really think I should have stayed another night. Last night was really hard getting comfortable to sleep, even in my recliner. I'm having a lot of pain today, some is my stomach some is gas in my mid back. Walking definitely helps the gas pain. I'm kinda down because I'm really hungry and eating feels so wierd. I'm really focusing on my Water right now. I started on some Protein Shake and that went fine. I just want this first week to be OVER! I want to be healed and on with my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been keeping everything down. I'm in a little comfort feeling all the gas around my body. At least it going out. I just want to past the first month.
