It hurts more then I thought getting fluids in walking a lot.




I was sleeved on Aug 9. The first two days were so painful, I was on morphine. Day 3 is wayyyy better. Pain scale 3 when I get up. Drinking feels weird and I can hear gas gurgling. Also my large incision on the right looks swollen compared to the other incisions

I had my sleeve done the same day (9 August). And I'm having the same experience regarding the swollen incision on the right and the gurgling when drinking. I seem to be having more pain than you, but I've still got a lot of trapped air. I know walking is the best for that, but it is just too hot here in south Texas. Also still no BM, so I'm sure that's not helping. Any advice?

Continue to walk around in the house, in order to remove gas from your stomach, you have to have that movement. After releasing the gas you will feel a thousand times better, stay hydrated.

No bm for me yet either. I'm in a lot of pain. I can barely walk, sometimes I can and sometimes the muscle pulling and burning is too much. Stomach gurgling all the time and tons of trapped air in tummy, chest and back. In tears as I write. Your not alone and we will be OK
Its just a big surgery and we need to relearn how to eat like a 2 month old. Hang in there

Smooth Move TEA every night keeps me going every other day without all the meds and enemas. I'm 8 months out.

I'm post op day 5 - band to sips DS and I can attest to the walking to get the trapped air out. I haven't had a regular bm but starting day 4 I have had the liquid poos which it to be expected. Liquid in liquid out. Naps are my friend.

      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
