Hmmmmm, five days huh..... And thats all you've noticed ?? Relax....probably just gas. Or could be a "full" trigger. Or you bod just letting you know it's pissed off you did all that trama to it...... :wacko: You're gonna notice alot of different noises, aches, various pains etc. for awhile as you heal and adjust. Unless it persists or gets worse, just give it time and it will probably pass.

Good call. Try to relax and not worry too much. It's always advised to contact your doc when you need definitive answers. The fist few days always works on the nerves a little. Here's hoping it's nothing to be concerned about. ;)

Please call your doctor's office. If it's nothing, they'll let you know that. If it's something, they'll tell you what to do about it. Follow-up care and advice is part of the service they provide. Good luck!

My surgeon said that the pain under you shoulder blade is the gas. He said it feels horrid and you cannot massage it out.

For this you must walk it out. I have a feeling you just moved a certain way and some of the operation gas. moved too.

Good to check with your doctor, but walk walk walk to see if it subsides.

So sorry about your complication. I hope it resolves quickly so that you start feeling better soon. You were really smart to trust your feelings and seek medical care.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
