Is anyone having pains in the left side??? My side is hurting and feels like its in a constant cramp.

That is the only problem I have. My doctor tell me the stomach is to the left of the body and a course that is where the work is done. So that made it understandable to me.

If you don't have a tube it maybe gas pains. I know my left side was hurting so bad it felt like a burning sensation so I had to go and receive tardol pain shots (if I spelled it correctly), anyhow, I had to get 4 shots to make the pain go away. I was wondering why this wasn't given besides Lortab, it worked better and didn't make me feel drowsy.

Finishing up my last shift before surgery on Friday morning. I'm suppose to be at the hospital at 5:45 in the morning. I'm excited. Got over the nervousness last week. Now just ready to get it done and move to the losers bench.

I'll be going back in for surgery to remove scar tissue in my intestines Monday morning. They said its a pretty rare complication but they do see it and the fix is a simple surgery.

Thank God I am home. The pillow work out find. Until my husband pulled into Rite Aide to fill my prescriptions. He misjudge the entryway and I had relax the pillow for a bit. I will never let go of my pillow again. "Hurts!!" Now I have to keep track of making shakes, taking meds, when to take walk and make time for walking. With all that said I know that I with the Lord I made the right decision, and would do it again. Slide over make room for me. Praying for all those going into surgery and coming out. Thanks your prays as well. Let's get through this adventure together.

      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.
