Day after surgery!



Recommended Posts

I was discharged yesterday and everything went swell! Got my sleeve and the doctor fixed a hernia that I had and he removed my gallbladder which I am very thankful that he did because apparently I had a couple big gallstones. I'm healing just fine and all but I'm hurting so much on my left side. I've been walking here and there and icing it when I lay down which helps a lot. I'm so excited to pass this phase and ready for phase 2. Just wish this pain would stop already!! >_

I've heard heating pads can help with the pain too. Maybe try alternating ice and heat?

Glad all went well!!!

Jacks, ???? (lol), I'm feeling some progress today. The gas movement is my next tackle, as I was able to meet my Fluid and Protein targets yesterday, yippee! As many have suggested, walking helps tremendously, but I really want to sleep and relax as much as possible while home, so my stomach can excellerate the re-mending.

How are you doing?

That's great!! :) I feel like I've gotten rid of most of the gas but there's this one part, my upper left side of me, that hurts so I'm walking it off every 2 hrs for at least 10/20 minutes . I honestly forgot to incorporate the Isopure with the Water intake for the first stage so I added that in and omg I was so happy that I was drinking anything but Water xD! Isopure is heaven!! ^_^ When I finally got to my hotel all I did was sleep it off and wake up at odd hours to do the sperometer and drink water. (And use the toilet) I think sleeping definitely helps the healing you should go for it! sleeping and the ice pack helps a lot ! Just wish I could lay sideways again cuz laying on my back the entire time is starting to be a killer lol.

I know exactly how you feel I'm the first week marker from my surgery and had a hernia repaired. The pain in my left shoulder is unbelievable. I've iced and heated but nothing has helped. It's the nerves that are aggravated causing the pain. I hope it subsides soon.

      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.
