I survived! In quite a bit of pain because I've been without pain meds for a couple hours. My iv site blew and they couldn't get it restarted so had to wait until anesthesiologist was available to try to get a site. 5 sites later and I just got a hit of morphine. I'm soooooooo thirsty, but I'm NPO till morning.

All in all though it hasn't been too bad. I'd still do it again.

Congrats to all those who have completed the surgery and are recovering. I will be with you on Monday. Glad to hear about each step so I have some idea of what to expect.

One week post-op and while better, that specific pain/discomfort is the only one that annoys me daily. GRRRR!

Itching!!!!!!! Omg! My belly itches so bad around all my incisions. Does anyone else have this? I've been putting on lotion but it's not helping. Maybe I need an anti-itching one?

I went home the next day. I was up and walking 3 hours after surgery. I was getting in fluids just fine and had good urine output. Walk asap after surgery, it really helps.

Do they put the I'VE for your morphine drip in your arm or in your hand? Also does everyone go home with one of those drain bulbs or whatever it is? I have seen several post about them taking a drain out and hurt pretty bad when it did

Im 3 days post op and i still haven't passed gas. Dr isn't too worried about it but the gas pains are wearing me out! Any suggestions? I walk once an hour around the hospital and still nothing. :(

Are you drinking warm broth. That has helped me 7 days post op.

Didn't go home with the bulb. They took it out the morning I was discharged. It isn't that bad. Feels more like an uncomfortable weird feeling.

      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.
