7 weeks out and I'm still burpy. I think it had to do with how I drink though. I am not a sipper... I have to choke down the waste in gulps because I tend to forget to drink when I'm at work. ..

I am having the same issue. I had my surgery on Oct 31st and I still have constant gas pains. I'm wondering if this is ever going away!

That gas pain was the WORST. Walking helped me a lot as well as gas x strips.

I walked the entire time at hospital since you really can't sleep there...

and I still hear people say this is the easy way out...yeah, going under the knife subjecting oneself to pain, unable to eat only liquids which is torture I might add without a proper nights sleep due to he incisions...I'm keeping my surgery private at work but I'm so anxious to share, I'm excited, anxious, head hunger is killing me ...

I was in critical care and got told to stay in bed for the first 24 hours due to breathing problems but after that I was up and doing laps of the ward and walking all over the place with my morphine and Fluid drips in tow. I was told exercise was the best way to shift the gas Within 3 days it was clear and I was sent home......... Sadly without the morphine

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
