I had MGB surgery on 4/10/17 and am doing pretty good. Right when I woke up in recovery I was in a lot of pain but they gave me good meds for it. I didn't really have any gas pain so I was lucky there.

I did better with getting fluids in at first but last week was a challenge. I think I'm doing better this week but I don't have much of an appetite so I have to remind myself to eat, which is mainly puréed Soup and yogurt.

I'm so glad I had this surgery. All my worry beforehand was for naught.

Good luck my fellow April surgical compadres!

That is going on with me this week can't hardy get no Fluid in I went primary care doctor and he said I'm doing good and said I'm doing good on my weight lose I thank him from saying that but problems is not getting that much fluid in at all I did call the sugerson office and told me it will get better and drink what I can and don't try force no fluid in at all

Mines is tomorrow. I'm nervous as a hostage... A friend of mine just texted me from recovery. She said she's in pain.. I expect the pain. I'm just ready to get it over with. I'm ready for the healing process.. good luck with your surgery

Hi, I was sleeved 4/18 and had absolutely NO PAIN. Yes, the gas hurt but the surgery itself, nothing! I could sleep on my sides 2 hours after surgery. I wish you the same!

      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.
