Another rough night. Not going to lie. I am in a lot of pain. I have been told I have

a low pain threshold but I metabolize pain meds fast. So don't assume you will hurt this much. I say prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I am hoping they will keep me 1 extra night. I cannot manage this pain at home. That's all for now, o keep drifting off while writing.

I had a hard time of it after my surgery too and they did keep me an extra night. I was so glad that they did and by the time I was discharged, I was feeling much better and ready to hit the road. I hope you are feeling better soon!

Its gas pain. I've been walking since 1 hour after surgery. The incisions are tender but feel better rapidly. I also wanted to update you all that I finally pooped! Sorry if that's tmi but boy do I feel better! So much so that I asked to go home and they are letting me :)

I hope u feel better soon I'm getting scared thinking of your pain is it gas pain or incision hurting are u able to walk any they say that helps with pain I pray u feel better soon

Thank you for your prayers and I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to be truthful. For me the pain is difficult (my super absorbing of pain meds didn't help). I will say Every hour I felt better. Feel free to private message me if you need support. That's what got me through. I met someone who went in a month prior to me

At home gas pains are still in effect but better than yesterday. Looking forward to cream of wheat in the morning. I hope my tiny tummy approves. I'm sick of the empty watery grumble feeling. I just keep telling myself this is a phase and the pain will pass.

Day 3....I slept OK on the sofa. Body is still really soar. Gas pain is getting better. Tried my first sip of my Protein shake, aside from the sharp pain I always get I quite enjoyed it. Going to ask hubby to whip up some cream of wheat when he wakes up :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
