I had my surgery on June 10 2014. Everything seems to be going well for the most part. Every couple hours I have shooting pain in my upper stomach and chest. It does not last long. It may hit me two or 3 times and the vanish for hours. Is this reason for concern? The whole leak thing terrifies me.

Thanks

I was sleeved on 6-11-14. I get pain in my upper stomach that lasts only a few seconds. Mainly after I sleep for the night or nap. But i thought it may be gas. I walk every 2 to 4 hours this seems to relieve all types of gas. upper and lower Call your Doctor to be sure!

Gas, plus stitches on the inside.... all normal pains. If you feel any hardness, any debilitating pain accompanied by fever or what have you, please see a doctor and as always consult your surgeon's office with anything serious!

Thx guys

I've been taking my temp often. It bounces between 97-99.

This morning I stepped up my walking to almost one mile. It feels good getting out. My wife got on to me about it being to much. I hope I did not over do it

I was sleeved on 6-9-14 and I also wake up with this weird pain in my stomach and my chest that feels like gas but it only lasts for a several seconds and then it goes away. I'm scared of a leak too. I've had to take care of patients that have had that complication and it's just horrible. As long as we stick to the diet we will be fine.

      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
