I had mine on 12/11 and my first few days were rough but I made it through and you will too. Congratultions on your surgery and I hope every day it gets a little better. I was lucky to have ice chips before my leak test. I also had the sponge-things to moisten my mouth. I got up, peed, walked, peed went back to bed, woke up, peed, walked, peed and went back to bed......... the first couple of days. I pushed myself to walk as much as possible to help with the gas pain--in the shoulders UGH. Hurt like a Mother-you-know-what. I've been back to work since 12/30 and so far so good.

Yahoo that pain is ridiculous. It's right under my ribs. They tried to take away my dilaudid and gave me something else that didn't work at all and made me sick. So now I'm on Dilaudid every hours and an into inflamitory that has worked wonders. The dilaudid has only been working for 2 hours at a time. I'm not leaving until my pain is bearable.

​Hi everyone! Thank you for the we'll wishes! I was sleeved as of 10am today. I am on dilaudit, and taking advantages of every bit. I have been in and out today. Extremely tired and somewhat dizzy. I couldn't walk much the first time due to being dizzy. The walk itself was not painful at all. The staff here is AMAZING! I will try to keep everyone posted. I do know one thing, it's freakin HOT in my room. Thank goodness it's a private room. I am dying for water....I have to wait until my leak test tomorrow :(. Off to sleep again, I can feel my eyes rolling!

Great spirit..wonderful!

Shel

FitnFabfor2014,

I hope your doc and insurance will allow you to stay as long as you need to. I agree with you staying until your pain is bearable. I know everyone is different and I've read on this site some people leaving the hospital after 1 night!!! This is MAJOR surgery. It's not like you're getting a hang nail removed for goodness sake. Sending a prayer you are able to stay as long as you need and you are able to alleviate the pain.

I was asking the same thing. I couldn't even have imagined leaving before day 2. When the medication kicks in I feel like I'm on cloud nine! Hehe

Hi, I'm on percocet. I don't have pain if I to keep popping meds. It's a struggle to get fluids in. I went home on day three and without pain meds it's horrible. I can't eat applesauce, but I do good with yogurt. Water is hard I've even tried Crystal light, but I'm still trying. I don't want to end up in the hospital. I walked this morning and it felt ok.

Hang in there! I was sleeved Dec. 1 and am doing pretty well. The first week was tough. Every day gets better.

      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.
