Hello everyone

I am Isabella

I just had surgery this last Thursday and it wasn't what I was expecting. No one told me about the pain every told me its painless.

I had the worst experience in the hospital . A lot of throwing up and throwing up blood. My stomach was in the worst pain. Now it's been a week I feel much better I can finally hold food down but I haven't been able to have a bowl movement.

Which is driving me crazy.

I am excited to in this community . post-260986-14399437581981_thumb.jpg

I didn't have the same experience as you. I never threw up and especially not blood. I have minimal pain from the incisions. The most uncomfortable I was, came from laying down snd turning over from side to side. I solved that issue with a small pillow I would hold against my stomach when I turned over. I had been told it would be painful and I expected the worse! I'm sorry you had such a difficult time. I'm also glad it is getting better for you!

That's horrible, did they tell you why you were throwing up blood? where did you get your surgery done?

Welcome. I had some pain, but it was very manageable. What does doctor say? Are you taking stool softeners?

Not everyone is the same so that is unfortunate that you ended up in a lot of pain. Glad you are doing better now! stool softeners are your friend!

I had a ton of nausea. Actually I had to spend an extra night in the hospital because of it. I had my sleeve surgery last Wednesday and was discharged on Friday.

Everyone's surgery is different. DH had the surgery a month before I did and he has the sleeve of a steel and I don't. Two days following being discharged form the hospital I was admitted to the ER for dehydration (and extremely painful migraines). My recovery time has been different from his. I was in a fair amount of pain for the first week, plus dizziness. He can eat most things with no problem, I eat something and it comes back up.

I think the main thing is to focus on you. Your body is different than the next persons. The gas pains will go away. Keep walking, keep drinking, eat small bites...A month from now things will start being "normal". You just have to get through the first two weeks. I found the first week to obviously be the worst, and then by the second week I started to have energy again. Just focus on why you had the surgery and what you hope to obtain with your new tool.

      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.
