Sitting up in recliner, having gas pain & throat is really sore. Dry mouth sux. Only 1 oz ice chips per hour allowed. I don't feel as bad as I thought I would, haven't had pain med since recovery room. Doc said he made 6 holes for access but I haven't peeked yet. Walkies soon

2 sleeps to go. The surgical nurse yesterday said that they squeeze out all the gas they can, and just a little bit thats left bubbles up to the shoulder... is that the gas pain you guys are talking about? or do they not squeeze your gas out over there?

i do remember after a c section awful pain in the shoulder and they said it was from the gas, I don't know if they squeeze any out or not, but to this day and that was about 34 years ago i remember that shoulder pain.

Yes! Take as much time as you need don't rush it. We all heal different. I keep thinking why I still feel like crap and others are back to work. I had complications so I can't compare. We need to take the time to heal and adjust.

The gas pain is unreal. Period...

Surgery was suppose to be tomorrow but just found out they are going to postpone it till December 5th due to me having a very bad cough with chest congestion..kind of bummed but better to go in healthy...ouch I can imagine how much that would hurt to cough so hard..best wishes to all that will be having surgery tomorrow

Jessica, that's probably for the best. Now you can concentrate on curing the cough.

      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.
