Hi everyone! I had my surgery on 4/15 & just waiting for my family to come get me. Day 1 was hard - some pain, hard to move & breathe without pain. I couldn't get up to walk because I was so dizzy & nauseous. Day 2 big improvement. Still some pain but not too bad. Day 3- started running a fever got up to 100.4. The hospital wasn't going to release me unless my temp came down. It's still up a little but I made sure it was low enough to let me leave. The only pain I have is when I try to roll over or bend down. So far it's not so bad today. I hope everyone is doing well!!

Reading all your updates ......

So my experience has been great! Then again, my surgery was only 13 hrs ago

As I've mentioned, I have dreadful anesthesia issues. This time wasn't horrible but not perfect. I was nauseous the entire time after surgery & was given a lot of meds. The scratch down my throat is 10x worse than my surgery lol

I actually began sipping Water pretty quickly just to ease my throat.

Then there was the awful pain on my shoulders. Felt like a horse kicked me.

So I was peeing & I noticed blood on my gown. Took me 2 hrs to figure it out; I had some drainage from an incision. Thing is, I have NO pain from surgery & forgot I had incisions!!!

No problems really. I HATE the nebulizer in my nose though.

How is everyone doing? Made it through the first 4 days, but still healing. I can say the left side cut hurts pretty bad still, and it is right where my pants hit. Ugh! It feels okay to walk around as long as I am holding my left side. I wish I had a wrap around thing that would make me not have to hold my tummy. Anyone else having that problem?

Not feeling nauseous or anything just really hurting on the left. I did notice that I might have eaten too much when I was eating some cream of chicken Soup earlier. Got an uncomfortable feeling in my chest and upper abdomen but not until 10 minutes later. I was really scared of dumping too but I didn't, thank God!

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

        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.

      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
