48 hours out of vsg surgery



Recommended Posts

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?

I had gastric bypass but that sounds pretty normal. Feel better soon!

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!

I also just had my surgery Thursday was up and walking 4 hours after surgery. I have been walking every hour since and it helps.

Yes, that was me exactly.
