Anabean 21 Posted August 20, 2016 HI all, I'm 48 hours out of VSG surgery and all I want to do is sleep. My stomach is swollen and feels very sore. standing up from sitting position or laying is hard. Walking makes it feel better. Is this pretty typical for most people?

mommafranz 21 Posted August 20, 2016 You are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing. sleep as much as possible as it aids in recovery. Make sure you are meeting your Fluid and Protein requirements. Keep going! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
