Hi guys I had my surgery yesterday and I was released today...it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be... I just wish I could get rid of some of this gas sorry for the TMI.... Other than that it's going pretty smoothly... I'm slowly taking sips of Water today and it I can feel it trying to go down my new stomach... Feels kind of weird... I need vice anyone??

Hey girl, congratulations!! I responded back to your message to me. I'm sure your taking gas x. My doc prescribed pain meds and Zofran. It helps but it takes about a week to fully go away if I remember right. I felt like it was pretty easy recovery and the band surgery was much harder for some reason. Try to Follow directions. The worst part is the lack of energy but it will get better. So happy you are on the other side and no more band!

Hi I had my surgery 5 weeks ago and I feel fine. The wind was a bit of a problem but I found that if I walked around I felt better. Since being on the diet and surgery I have lost 44 lbs so am noticing the difference now. I was fine on the stages but I don't like milk so I had extra yoghurts instead. Sometimes I feel a bit tiered but he for the amount im eating im not surprised. But do as the doctors say and don't try to rush things. x

Hi Krisstep,

Glad everything went well for you. I'm not feeling the sensation that you are but I do feel like every sip fills me up with air. I'm going to try the gas-x.

It's good to be home isn't it?

Mike

The gas is so painful. I've managed to sleep through some of mine today. Hoping it's almost gone. I was crippled over earlier! I'm in the UK so we don't have gas x otherwise I would be straight on it.

        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.

      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
