I will be following this! I am 8 days post op and still having pain every time I drink something. Wondering if it is normal and when it will go away! I hope that your pain subsides quickly and you are able to travel for momma's day! And congratulations!

I am 3 weeks out and I still have super sharp pain still on my left side. It's tough to bend over still.

I have tried not to overdo but when I feel okay I have been doing things. It's hard not to when I have a one year old. I don't know if I'm sabotaging myself.

Took me a good 4 weeks for the incision pain to go away. The largest incision was on the left side and it hurt a lot. The others not so much.

Wow, I must be very lucky. I am 6 days out right now and have no pain at all. My only complaint is that my navel is a little tender.

I am 3 weeks post-op. I was off pain meds four days out. One week post-op I was back on pain meds. I have this terrible burning, tearing pain to the left of my belly button. It has had me in tears off and on, knocks the wind right out of me... two trips to the office--no answers. Just wait a month and tough it out. The skin is numb and the pain is below. I am thinking it is nerve damage.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
