Two weeks and three days out. ...



Recommended Posts

So I am 2 weeks in 3 days out, and I'm still experiencing muscle pain on one side of my stomach. It's kind of like a pinching pain inside. Now done of you know that I had an infection shortly after surgery in one of my incisions. It wasn't a deep wound and it's almost completely healed and I'm almost done with my antibiotics. No pain it anything there. But on my right side of my stomach hurts when I'm in the process of standing up. Or like if I lie down it's a pain trying sit up cause the side hurts. Somebody plz tell me this is normal. I mean I'm walking I'm getting around the house fine I walk upstairs fine. Is this normal. Anybody else experience this?

Hi. I had my surgery two weeks and 4 days ago. I am having that type of pain on my left side. Over the past 5 days it has gotten better. People keep telling me to just give my body more time to heal. I keep reading about people going back to work after one week and they just jump right back into life. So then I freak out thinking what went wrong with me? I think each persons experience is going to be different. I don't know if I have helped you at all, but since our surgery dates were so close I thought I would let you know my experience. Good luck to you and I hope you feel better soon!

      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. 🤞
