Am I the only person that had surgery on July 11 that can't walk that much due to back pain (prob gas)? I've been walking inside of my house not much but a little. I sit with my back on heating pad and it eases it a little. I'm just afraid that I won't lose hardly any weight by my follow up on Aug 10. My scales shows about 9 pounds down since the surgery but I feel it should be more......anyone else feeling this way?

My surgery was on the 11th and I feel the same way as you I'm afraid of not losing enough for my follow up, but lets keep walking as much as we can.

Best of luck :)

I barely walked at all for 3 weeks. And I still don't exercise as much as I should be. I was 40lbs down at my 1st month check up last week. I don't have a gym membership yet and its been 100 degrees here. Walking at night is not safe in my neck of the woods. I'm joining a gym next week when I get paid

Hi. I'm new here. I had surgery on July 4th. I had gas pain so badly in my shoulders that I just started sleeping in my bed a few days ago. My first few days home I had to sleep in a lazy boy chair. My back hurts and I use a heating pad constantly.

I had the same pains too but it turned out i had a pouch of Fluid near my ribs that developed right after surgery. When in doubt, always ask for a catscan. I ended up with a chest tube and pneumonia for a month

      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.
