Could use some help for my Fiance...She had her surgery last night.



Recommended Posts

Guess she didn't rest well and is still vomiting/cant keep stuff down. She goes in to see the doctor at 11, so hopefully that goes well and maybe she'll have some nausea medicine or something.

I hope they gave her some anti-nausea meds. My first night in the hospital the pain meds were making me very nauseated and they were able to give me anti-nauseas to keep from throwing up. If they haven't offered, maybe ask for some? I hope she turns the corner soon!

I know its been a few days, but I have been busy with work and trying to take care of her. I am ecstatic because this morning she woke up and everything seemed to be a complete 180. She actually smiled today, and I hadn't seen a real one of those since her surgery. She hasn't thrown up in 2 days and she's been sipping on water/broth/sugar-free juice all day to stay hydrated. I think we're on the home stretch, just wanted to update everyone and thank you all for your help and support. Definitely not my last post here. Also, I have her taking a prevacid daily, that's okay, right? She's craving solid foods already.l, which I think is the only hard part now.

Robster, this sounds great. Any surgery is scary. It is downhill now. Smile! I am on Prilosec for the rest of my life. Give her broth and popsicles and according to her doctor's plan. Tell her I said hugs, and get moving, walk as much as possible. I drove in 2 days and shopped 5 days later at the mall. I am loving my life at 68! God Bless you both on this journey. Linda

The Prevacid is fine. My surgeon prescribed me Prevacid for 3 months after surgery. If over the counter doesn't seem to work, have her ask her PCP for the prescription strength. Glad she's doing 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.

      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.
