Well it's one day post op. of course I came home 16 lbs heavier, and it was tough going from a morphine drip to Percocet , and all I do is sleep, drink, get up and move , go to the bathroom and then back again to sleep. I think so far I am actually doing good, and so glad to be home. Will try to keep everyone updated :).

My starting out weight was 283 and the day I went to the hospital was May 30th at 263!! I come home from the hospital at 273. Im 6 days out and I'm 259. I'm really sore but have been off my pain medications for 2 days. I have my 1 week post op diet in the morning and I hope they move me up to stage 2!

So is it normal to put on a lot of weight at the hospital? How much is normal and how soon does it go away? What causes that?

Yes, I put on 10lbs! Even with the pre-op diet. I think it's normal and due to anesthesia and IV fluids.

I gained 8lbs in the hospital. It comes off fast. I've lost 25lbs since I've been home (2 weeks tomorrow).

I had a slight temp the first couple of days to, just keep an eye on it. The sternum feeling was same as me, most likely bloating gas from Anesthesia. My surgery was 6/4. As of today, less bloated and less pain all the way around. If you have pain Meds. Take as directed for at least 3 days. Most of my pain was the day I came home and next day. Good luck and keep posting

      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.
