I agree with @@sarabeth82 - it gets way better everyday. you may have a dip in energy/emotions here and there, but by and large, the further out you are from surgery the less unstable you'll feel. Just know that it's normal, and it'll pass!

Hi, your not alone. I think it's the anesthesia. Every time I have surgery I am an emotional wreck for a good 2 months afterwords.

If you need to cry, then you just cry. Just please know it does get better! I just had my Tummy Tuck on 3\20\15 and even though it ease over 4 months ago. I still cry at sad commercials lol.

It will be OK. Jus think. I had my gastric bypass surgery on 6\25\13, lost 162 lbs. I am not lookin back. Best thing I EVER did!!!!!!!

Did I have complications, yes. But still, I would do it again.

Good luck. We are here for you!!!!

I made this account for my mom who had the sleeve done on 7/14. She came home yesterday afternoon. This evening she started getting very emotional saying she should have never done the surgery & started to cry. Her doctor said she can take a Xanax as needed. After talking to her to calm her down she finally started to relax & I gave her half of a .25mg xanax she had. I'm just happy to see this is considered a "normal" reaction. She had some complications (low blood pressure) hours after the surgery thanks to the anesthesiologist. I just want to make sure her emotions are normal. I can't wait to show her this page in the morning to show her she's not the only one. Thank you!

Please give your mom our best. We are a great forum to ask and answer questions! I had gastric bypass and went through the same emotions! I'm only 2.5 weeks out so tell your mom it does get better.

Totally normal! Try to get out and walk a little bit if you can. A change of scenery I bet would help. Call friends. Think of how healthy and happy you'll be. This too shall pass. I hope you feel better soon!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
