Hi guys I was sleeved 4th Oct and feeling so emotional. The pain is fine it's the gas pains that make me want to cry. I am sat in the hospital wondering if I've done the right thing. I know many of you have probably thought the same thing just looking for some encouragement. Didn't know the gas would be this bad. I keep walking and walking but my God this is really bad. Dr won't give me any gas relief. My throat hurts so bad as well. God help me

I feel like this post was written by me. I had surgery yesterday. The gas pain is unbearable. All I want to do is cry. I can deal with the incision pain, but this gas pain is unbelievable. It makes everything hurt.

I was sleeved on 9/28. Days one and three were awful! I had little gas pain, but horrible pain for a hernia repair. I was not expecting that level of pain! By day three I was pretty blue and in the "why did I do this to myself?" Mood. It passed. Feeling much better, much stronger, and hardly any pain 8 days out. My PA said it was totally normal and to expect a low at about three weeks and then again at five weeks.

I had mine on the 4th also. But lucky me, i didnt have any gas pains, or any other pains. I was scared because everyone kept telling how bad it was going to be. I went in and now im home doing somethings that i really wanted to do. The only thing im confused about is when i eat, i dont really feel full. I feel this cramping under my left breast. Is that my body telling me thats enough? Idk

I was sleeved on the 5th. Came home yesterday and have been in so much pain. I've walked, heating pad, etc. I know it's only temporary but damn this sucks. I wish I had an extra night in hospital with all the good iv pain killers. Had no pain until that all wore off.

@@toli all you can do is try!! Good luck

I was sleeved on Oct. 3rd. Had a large amount of swelling. Swelling is still going down. Has anyone had any weight loss yet? I am not back to my pre surgery weight yet.

Sorry to hear...the gas pains are a killer!! Walking, heating pad, Tylenol for gas pain and sugar free halls for your sore throat. I had band to bypass oct 3. Feeling a million times better today :-) The shoulder pain when I got the band was truly unbearable. I totally understand. Hope you're feeling better 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.
