Help! Turned wrong in my sleep.



Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks out today and last night I turned wrong in my sleep and was yelling in pain. This morning I am really sore on my stomach and just don't feel good. I am hoping I just strained myself but has anyone had a tear at this point? I am worried I might have done something worse.

It took me a few weeks to be able to sleep comfortably in any position and be able to move around in bed without pain. If you are worried there is something seriously wrong, you should get in touch with your surgeon. Good luck to you!

If you think you've done any damage and it still hurts call your DR.

Always call the Dr. if you are concerned. Try putting pillows around your torso at night, in bed, to prevent you from turning so much. Prop them where you tend to turn. It might be enough to stop you from hurting yourself while you are healing. Worked for me! Oh, I am SUCH A PRO at this (I've had 22 surgeries!!!)!

Have you been to your two week check up? If it's not today or soon, call the doctor.

Thanks everyone! I laid back down for a while and got back up and was feeling much better. Definitely some serious soreness but it feels like just soreness now and not like something is wrong!

I'm 11 days post op and have been sleeping sitting up on the couch lol.. I can't even tolerate laying. It's like my stomach is so big it pulls every thing. I tried last night for the first time to lay in the bed, I did the same thing! I pulled some thing some where and it was not good! So now I'm staying back on the couch for a few more nights. I can't wait to be able to lay down!

I found getting in and out of bed horrible for the first week. I am 19 days post op and can sleep comfortably on my back or right side. The left side is still a no go. I find I prop myself with lots of pillows and that really helps. It will get better. If it's Sore and not just when you are sleeping then contact your surgeon. It will get better. A bit each day.

      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.

      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.
