Oh my sorry its so bad. Mine started yesterday. It is a stabbing pain. It sucks. I think it's a stitch in the muscle. I have an appointment tomorrow and I'm going to ask. Ugh.

Thank you all! I am in nursing school with clinicals, I got out of the hospital on Thursday and went back to class on Monday maybe it's norm then and I've just done too much : -/

Wow, that's fast to go back to clinicals! I scheduled my surgery for the first week of Christmas break so I have 4 weeks to recover before I go back to 12hrs/day clinicals. You're a trooper for sure! I hope the pain lets up for you soon. Good luck with your studies! Are finals soon for you? Mine is Wednesday with pre-op being the very next day.

No I had finals the week before. We go on 11 week terms instead of semesters. I think I may have overdone it I've been hurting pretty bad yesterday and today: (

i am approximately 2.5 weeks post op. am having severe pain in lower-left abdomen. it feels like there are spasms. it hurts at one specific incision. it does not hurt anywhere else. the pain is so bad that it hurts to walk, it hurts to get up from a sitting position and it hurts to sit down. the only time i feel relief is when i am lying down. it feels bloated. BM's are normal. Gas is moving through. is this normal? i have a follow-up appt with the surgeon in 2 days.

this incision pain is bit scary because on other days I have felt great. it feels like a setback. i am hoping that the pain will decrease tomorrow. i am very grateful for this forum. it is comforting to read about others' experiences.

Idk..I'vE had days like that too...feel really good then the next day hurting again...i noticed it in the beginNing if I tried not wearing the binder....I've probably overdone it today as I've had to go out 2x to shovel...not a good plan :(

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
