Hi! My surgery is set for October 1st. Why the shoulder pain? How have you done with getting in your liquids? Have you had lots of nausea? Congrats on your surgery!!

Hello..@@konalisa80 my surgery is set for next Monday 9/15. Congrats to you on your surgery. Is the shoulder pain from the air that they put into your belly during surgery? Is it a tolerable pain or are you still taking pain meds?

I believe the shoulder pain is gas. It has lessened the more I walk. I'm taking some pain meds at wider intervals today. The pain yesterday and today was tolerable

I was sleeved on 9/3. The only pain I have is around my belly button which is the largest incision. This has been a wonderful experience for me. I was able to get out today and walk around Chinatown. I feel fantastic...just a little weak. I am having a hard time getting all the Protein in, but I keep sipping on the shake! Down 14 pounds but this includes the two weeks of liquids prior to surgery.

I was sleeved yesterday (9/8) and only had mild pain in one shoulder yesterday. Once I was home from hospital I was fine. I need to walk more today but have had no problem sipping liquid and taking medium sized pills.< /p>

I was sleeved on 9 - 4 also when I was able to become concious of my body again the first thing I was able to identify was my shouder blade area. Good GOSH did it hurt. It felt like someone had shot an arrow in it and left it there.

It worked out but I found it difficult to try to walk so medicated. I should of had a plan.

      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.
