my instructions were to call the doctor if a serious pain persisted for more than 4 hours. i would recommend calling your surgeon to ask. always better safe than sorry! i hope you feel better soon!!! please keep us posted.

Carissa,

Have you called your physician, at this point? Hopefully, you are feeling better. Maybe you felt crappy because of something you ate today. It takes a while to pass.

Take it easy on your new tummy. Sounds like you are doing good over all. Remember we had the same date 7/30!!

Carissa - the nurse in me wants to know how you are feeling otherwise? Temp? Vomiting? Bowel movements? Are you still taking pain meds? Have you gotten your proteins/ Water? I know I wasn't getting my water and I had headache and was very tired- my husband kept reminding me that's why I'm home RECOVERING - but new pain that Last longer than a few hours and doesn't Go away is something I would probably let The md know about - :)

      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.
