It will pass. Your body is sensitive to anesthesia. Once all of it is out of your system things will return to normal. Sometimes it takes a few days.

I hope your right! I feel so awful and I am just hoping for some relief. It sounds like they are going to keep me in the hospital for another night be safe.

I'm two days post up and had same problem due to my swollen new tummy. My doctor ordered 2 rounds of decadron. I started to feel better and was discharged later that evening yesterday.

I was cathed after surgery too a few times. It's just probably from anesthesia.

I've been able to urinate everyday, but the nausea hasn't really gone away. Sometimes when I feel the urge to pee I just sit there. I've noticed it comes in waives, do as long as I sip and wait it out I've been gone. Now let's hope that there are no BMs until after the pain is gone,

Every time I have had surgery, I have to be cathed multiple times and have to stay longer than expected. After my hysterectomy, I had to go home with a catheter and after a week had to go to self-cathing (in and out). My bladder just doesn't seem to want to wake up quite honestly, it's one of my biggest worried about bypass. Not because it's painful, but because it's a pain in the butt! ????

I have the "can't go pee" syndrome whenever I take Vicodin; it's a good indication that I'm over medicated. Try backing off your pain meds and just take some Tylenol.

I was very sick and nauseous my first few days post Opp, I couldn't keep anything down and forget the Tylenol 3.. Oh and also had major hiccups and throwing up. Luckily I had a great nurse and said she's not bothered if I called her at 3 in the morning. I ended up having to take suppositories, (I know awful right?) but they helped me get incredibly better..I'd say don't hesitate to call your nurse or Doctors office for help. They will help you.

      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.
