I had my surgery 6/11 too. They just gave me tylenol with codeine (finally) and am now waiting for my doctor to come in, inject multiple shots of lidacaine into my stomach and use a scalpel to open the old incision and drain whatever is in there. Best case scenario is I leave with gauze and antiboiotics - worse is I'm here overnight and they have to take blood and put in an IV and god knows what'll be wrong with me

Ask them for morphine before they open it. Even with the lido!!!

Ughhhhh just got home. Worst experience of my entire life, worse than surgery. They shot me 5 times with lido (honestly only felt one though) and then proceeded to cut me open with a scalpel and basically finger banged my insides until all the pus and infection came out. Even with the lido it was very painful, and of course I absolutely LOATHE the feeling of numbness, it bothers me almost to the point of nausea, so the entire time I'm flailing and I even cried due to the pain which I have never done. I've cried plenty of time in fear of pain but never from being in pain. I was just so terrified and overwhelmed. Now I have an open incision with a shit ton of gauze and have to go back every day to get the packing switched and am on antibiotics. This has been the worst day of my life thus far, for awhile I really felt like this surgery wasn't worth it.

My incision was left open from the surgery every day I take the packing out shower then repack it myself then tape gauze on it. Not so bad. Except I look like I have a vagina on my belly lol

Ouch, it's really good you went in though. I know your not feeling good right now but it could have been way worse. Rest and heal up woman, no wrestling with boyfriend.

surgery date: 2/18/2012

      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.
