Had my surgery this morning at 730a. Had lots of level 9 pain at first. Then i got a Morphine injection. Finally pain is a 2. Morphine works better for me than the Fentanyl. Thr pain now feels like i have either been coughing or have been doing a lot of abdominal exercises. I have to stay 2 nights because i have severe sleep apnea and had some breathing pauses in recovery. Glad i brought my c pap with me. Then tonight i went to sleep snd one of my incisions started bleeding. The nurse reinforced with a new dressing. And i went for a walk while the staff changed my linen. Back to sleep soon.

I had surgery Tuesday, have severe pain that I received morphine thru IV, the gas pain was bad for first couple of days, I just walked and walked. The worst thing was the nausea, so bad ,I threw up several times, had to contrast dye x-ray to make sure everything was ok. Which it was, got patch behind my ear for nausea, received oral nausea meds too. Just changes my pain meds from Norco to oxycodone to see if that helps with the nausea. I keep telling myself everyday gets better.

      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.
