I'm day 1 post op & already down 12 lbs. The didn't put a foley.in at all thank God. Having quite a bit of trouble managing pain. I have the hiccups which are agonizing. I am on clear fluids. I was full after 1/2 a Jello cup. It wasn't even a normal size one. I've been up walking, 6 laps so far. I should get to go home tomorrow.

Wow congrats!

Yeah the farting thing is tough, it took me three days. And a BM took a week with the help of milk of mag.

But I agree with the girls. Haha you will be on thin sexy version of Kevin James. Haha

Good luck! & I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Hey! Congrats! I just had mine on Tuesday. I still haven't passed gas or had a BM. I been burping and hiccuping though. Hiccups hurt! But it relieves a lot of the gas stuck in my abdomen. The only pain I really had was the gas.

For those who have had the surgery recently...is the pain tolerable? My sister had her surgery yesterday afternoon and says the pain is horrible and she can't tolerate morphine because she throws up...shes so scared she has a leak because she threwup hrs after surgery but I hope not. She said pain is so bad! I guess it's different for everyone. She had a hernia repaired too. She also had vertical sleeve, not bypass. Hmmmm.

Pain itself can cause vomiting but there are alternatives to morphine. A more likely cause of the vomiting would be the anasthesia. If they haven't done it already, they almost certainly will be doing what is commonly called a "leak test" which should alleviate her fears regarding a leak. The test is normally done the day following surgery. Give her our best and assure her that the pain passes relatively quickly and she's gonna love the new her!!

Thank you so so much! She's been given an alternative to the morphine called tramadol and shes 100x better and up and walking. She also just finished her swallow test and all is ok! Thank you!! :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
