I was sleeved on Monday, May 24th. I am 3 days post op now. I haven't had any pain. I had horrible nausea from surgery until last night. Also, I have had gas pains every time I take a sip of Water or crystal light. I went to rite aid last night and bought some gas X chewables to help. Hopefully this side effect stops soon. But I'd say with 0 pain I am pretty lucky!

I had my bypass that same day and I think the only real pain I had was the dang gas. I took Gas x but i didn't see much relief. funny how that moves up into your shoulders. annoying.

Question: Did you put on weight. I put on 13 pounds in the hospital. I'm sure it's all Iv weight but I'm curious if you had that experience

I had nausea the first few days too. The liquid pain medicine really made me nauseous., so I started pill form.
I'm lucky, I didn't get gas pain in my shoulder, it was in my chest. Moving around really helped get rid of it.

I was in the hospital for 3 days and I was on an IV until about an hour before I was released. I didn't gain any weight but I used the restroom a lot. The nurse said I was voiding everything that was going in via IV.

I gained weight while in the hospital. Had RnY on Monday, 4/24. Still sore and full of gas. No nausea but struggling to get my fluids in. Going for walks and taking gas x but the relief is minimal.

The weight gain is from the fluids pumped in for surgery as well as swelling from surgery. He best advice that I was given and seemed to work great was keep walking. It helps to move and expel the gas while promoting healing. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

I am actually down 20 lbs. from last Wednesday. I am assuming due to just being on liquids. But hey i'll take it! I'm really starting to feel better with a small amount of the gas pains left. I have returned to work, I have a desk job where I can get up and walk whenever I want. So that has really helped. I too am struggling to get the liquids in but I just keep sipping.

I had my Sleeve surgery on Monday too. I'm doing ok, just some soreness, and very tired. Am doing ok managing puréed food, my only real problem is meds, I just cannot stomach the chewable meds, I can't wait till I can just swallow pills like before.

You are lucky to be on puréed foods already. I had my sleeve done Tuesday and was put on liquids for 21 days post op. I want some texture so bad!

Oh no, that's hideous, I was on liquids only for just one day, then puréed for 4 weeks, and then soft foods for 4 weeks. Then 'normal' foods. I feel great, and am not having any problems at all with any of the foods I've been eating. X

      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.
