Soon you will be loosing pounds and giving out advice.

The best advice that I received at your stage were 3 things.

1. Take the anti nauseau meds before you leave the hospital even if you dont feel nauseau. (I did not do that and got REALLY sick) Zofran works well.

2. As soon as you wake up walk, and walk every hour, It helps keep the painfull gas away and lessens the chance for blood clots.

3. Sip, Sip,Sip, the best way to keep you from feeling sick is to stay hydrated. Even when you dont want too, even if you think you cant, sip Water.< /p>

Your going to be so happy in a couple months, this will be a distant memory.

Best Wishes!

I'm a week out today, and felt the same as you, I was pretty sure my heart was going to stop before I got to the hospital. You are going to do great! The first few days a rough, but I didn't think any worse than having the lapband, the worst part for me was the nausea and wanting to down a bottle of Water and only being able to sip, so that's what you do, just keep sipping and every day you'll get better! Good luck!!!

Hi.. when I woke up I was in exteme pain and nauseated beyond believe.

I still am..I had my barum swallow those morning no leaks, which is wonderful. . I had a re ision with 2 hernia repairs the incisions are sore but the one by my my ribs between my boobs at the bottom is the worst.please remember tp take the pain medication. It helps tremendously. And dont take phemergun for nausea yhe zpfrin is much better, I think the demerol was the worst so they put me on dilated... best to luck for e everyone. .

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
