Jessica, this isn't uncommon. It can be a side affect from anesthesia, but usually has more to do with the bladder adjusting to the catheter being gone. Ask if they have a peri bottle that you can use to spray warm Water over your privates as you sit on the toilet, that may help. If not sometimes they will give meds to help or re-cath you for a little while.

They gave me xanax which I take normally but I thought was weird..but I did go some..and low and behold aunt flow came she wasn't due for 2 weeks..like what the heck!! Get back on that plane and go back where you came from..enough is enough already..although my issues are minor compared to some of the complications some of you have to go through I'm not trying to make light..

I'm praying you will breeze right through the operation...you will be a bundle of doubts and emotions the days leading up to your surgery date plow right through the doubts and know it's normal..if you weren't emotional than that would be abnormal..

      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. 🤞
