Hey everyone. I know my surgery was open (not laparoscopic) but I'm still not feeling it. I can barley get up by myself still. This is horrible. I have a high tolerance for pain but I'm still soooo sore.

Just the 27?? No wonder, mine was laparoscopy and it took me at least a week to start feeling better. I had a lot of pain because the gas was trapped and I had a very hard time getting rid of it. Just wait and you will feel better, I know how it sounds but I was there, it took a little more than others but now I feel good. My surgery was 2/11 and I am still having trouble with the Protein and liquids but I keep working on it. Be positive!!

Hey guys! I am now 1 week post-op! I have lost 10 lbs since surgery 2/25! I am still on Clear Liquids and still getting to know my pouch. My first follow up with the surgeon is on Monday. I've not had too much pain and I get around and do most things by myself, except for lifting. I feel so bad for the people on here that have had trouble with straining abdominal incisions. I simply can not wait to move on to puréed diet! Also, I know my calorie intake is very low, but I can not wait to start back doing my Insanity workouts! I feel like I'm being lazy sitting on the couch! Too much ice and snow outside to do any walking. I hope that everyone continues to make strides in recovery! No one's story is the same and some have more complications than others. Just take it day by day and remember why you decided to go on this journey!

the healing seems to be going slow. He cut over the top of my other scar and maybe that's why it's so sore. It goes from my chest bone to about 8 inches down the middle of my belly. No they didn't staple. It is dissolving stitches.

      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.
