Thanks. I am post op day two. For the most part the nausea has subsided. Not much pain to speak of. The rumbling gas started this morning. I got some much needed sleep last night. But I woke up with heartburn this morning and that was the one thing I was most concerned with because it was terrible with the band. I am taking nexium. I am hoping this works and it may be because I am only on liquids. I hope I can get more liquids in today. Yesterday I did terrible. I may have been lucky if I got in 6oz. I guess its because all the swelling. Hoping for a better day today. I ran low grade fever last night but I know thats expected with surgery. How are you coming along?

Yesterday was rough with rumbling. I took magnesium citrate and BOY did that help. I had really bad acid reflux and took the antacid the doc prescribed. Woke up this morning and feel fabulous! I am not having trouble sipping but I am not even trying to deviate from the diet plan. I don't want to test any limits after being so miserable with the band and going to the sleeve

Had mine May 26th Baylor Plano TX. First 2 days were hard, mostly just the gas. Today, 4 days post op, or 5 days if u count operation day, and I feel normal again. So much energy. It is a full time job getting down fluids and Protein. Haven't weighed yet, thought I'd save that for first post op appt at dr office. They sent me home with a drain, that has been the biggest pain. Good luck!

      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.
