Surgery yesterday - scared



Recommended Posts

My surgery was yesterday. I had a really rough night - started throwing up blood in the recovery room.

I just had my leak test and there was a concern about one place. They just came in for a follow up video extra on my stomach. I was feeling better but now I'm getting really nervous. ..

Did anyone else have the follow up video exray?

Try to relax and let the professionals take care of you. They know more about your specific situation and appropriate care than anyone on an internet forum. Best wishes!

First let me say I'm sorry to hear you're having such a rough time! I know you're scared but you are with professionals who can help you. Take it day by day and hopefully this will just be a bump in the road. I wish you the best!!

Pray for peace while the professionals do what they do. Also, pray for divine intervention with the doctors. Prayer can change things.

I actually had to have another surgery the second day to look for a leak. They needed to open me up. No leak was found but there was Fluid so they put in a drain which was fine. I heaved and threw up all night the first night but by day three felt so much better. Praying that you have a speedy recovery and start feeling better soon. Please keep us posted.

Thanks everyone! After the third X-ray they have cleared me and I'm onto the Water trails.

I too threw up all kinds of blood post op. They said not to worry, it is left over from the surgery. I had a bit of problem with anesthesia and pain killers. ( could not wake up and very nauseas) Both passed. I pray you don't have a leak and that you recover quickly. Chin up!

Well I am back home from surgery, so I think everything should be ok.

I am having abdominal pain, but trying to get in enough liquids

      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.
