I am 6 days out and having severe pain on the top of my belly in the middle, just under my boobs, almost in between them. Is anyone else experiencing or has experienced this pain? Is it just gas? It is unbearable at times.

Severe pain is not normal. Call your doctor.

My left arm stabbing pains started 9 days out and have now vanished 12 days out. It was weird. I have changed the way I'm sleeping, on a wedge pillow. Some say it's still CO2 at your stage.

Info 127, I believe, based on what I have read and learned, that maybe you should contact your doctor. Just to be safe. Don't want an infection to begin. Will be thinking about you.

Everyone here can guess. I would guess still CO2. But that won't help you if it's something serious, like a blood clot. Call your Dr asap. Always better to have a Dr tell you "you're fine," instead of, "you should have called 3 days ago!"

Call the Dr. right away!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
