I'm not sure about the pain...after surgery I had tons of pain and discomfort all over. Mainly gas pain.

Actually now that I remember I had a pain on the left side of my belly and the doc told me normally people complain of pain on the right side. My pain turned out to just be horrible gas :)

Tired. Sleepy emotional and more tired. Everyone is different though. This is just my experience. Many people get their energy back sooner :)

Its normal for your stitches to be sore for 6 weeks off and on. They put a nerve block on the nerves to your stomach so its probably just healing pains

Hi, I'm 4 days post op today and am so glad to have found this app for my phone. I was worried that all this nausea and acid was abnormal and was getting quite depressed. Now I know its all par for the course which makes me feel alot better.

Day three is ROUGH, girl. If you had your children too... well, it's no wonder you're tired, sore and discouraged. I didn't have pain meds once I got home, but I still felt loopy for several days, plus the weird stomach sensations and fatigue. I couldn't concentrate on anything, or read, or even watch a show.

Today is Day 7 for me, and I feel pretty good. Still get tired, and that six-week mark sounds about right for feeling back to normal in terms of energy. Hopefully above normal, since you'll have lost so much weight by then!

      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.
