That first night was the roughest. I even had to stay a 2nd night due to vomiting. It does get better. Hang in there. Try to get up and walk to get rid of that gas and don't hesitate to ask for pain meds if needed. It is easier to control the pain if you don't let it get out of control to begin with. Hang in it will all be worth it.

Still at the hospital. I can't pass gas but I've become an expert at dry heaving gas.

Milk those meds then!

I remember I was getting offirnev every 6 hours, dilaudid like 4-5 times a day, and the occasional caldolor and Phenergan. I only got the Phenergan once but wow that stuff gets rid of nauseous fast and knocks you the hell out. I didn't have a lot of nausea but thst stuff is magic

It's been rough for me. How about you? I hope all went well for you. I'm really struggling right now and I have been since the surgery was over.




It has really been good. Sorry to hear you're having a hard time. Just a little gas but I've been walking alot to get it moving.

I've been walking and getting regular pain meds but I think since I had a cold when I came in for surgery that I now have something more serious. I haven't been able to wean off O2 and I don't where O2 at home. So I just think that maybe this whole cold and surgery was a bad idea.

I'm finally doing well! So much better today than the last few days. I'm going home to figure this all out on my own! So exciting!

      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.
