Hi Seriousaboutme! We had surgery the same day. I hope your pain is well-controlled. Let's compare notes sometime.

Hi how are you feeling? I am walking but I am suffering from gas and pain. How are you handling the Water.

Hi how are you coping now? I'm annoyed! My iv had to be redone 3 times. I am in pain and I'm in a 3 person room..

Hello, thank god, I was finally approved because they found my blood type. I had surgery yesterday, everything went very well. I have a lot of gas/insishion pain. I was just discharged and am going home. How did everything go with you?

I'm having gas pain too. In my lower stomach its the worst. They are keeping me tonight because I didn't get my 60oz of Water down today. Plus I'm still in pain so it's okay.

It didn't hurt, but let me tell you it was a very disturbing feeling. I could feel the tube moving out and being pulled from my insides. Be thankful when it is over lol. But no pain at least.

How those who made it home manage sleeping in bed? I'm still not sure how to get in and out and I really want to sleep there tonight. My body needs to lay flat. So far I just came home and took a nap in a semi-comfortable recliner.

How's everyone doing on figuring out when their pouch is full? I think I am just starting to. It is pressure/pain at this point. There's like this warning signal that comes with it of "If take one more sip everything is getting ejected." Is it like that for others?

I am happy to be home, but almost wish I was still in the hospital, so it would be easier to control my pain. Last night was a long sleepiness night because of pain, but thank God for my wife that helps me out of bed. I spend half the night in bed, the other half in a recliner. It feels good not to be hungry, but I'm just too damn sore, but it will be worth it!

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I only get up out of bed to walk or eat or get in the recliner, whichever one doesn't hurt as bad...having a really hard time getting Water in...doing good with the Protein.

Hi everyone I hope all of you that had your surgery this week are healing well. As for me I am still in hospital. I am having difficulty drinking an lousy 1 oz. In a hour. I have terrible gas and feel full making it harder to drink. There not letting me leave until I consume 3 ozs. How's everybody doing?

      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.
