I am so sore in my stomach which I’m sure it’s expected but were you guys in pain even when you yawned or sat up, in your stomach?

So i am in pain still! First it was in the hospital 24 gas pain on my left side. Then I got home and maybe couple days later I developed the same pain you are describing but mine is everything I do besides breathe it is sharp pain. I seen my surgeon and he states that he stitched up 3 layers of muscle and I must of tore one layer of stitches and that is what is causing the AWFUL pain. But the only thing to do is take pain meds and it goes away in 2wks (For me that is)based off my healing time. It will only get better! He stated that is is like the flick of a switch it goes right away not like it taking 2 to 3 days before you feel the pain completely gone. So I guess that is the plus I am looking forward too!

Yes, very common. I had to take pain pills off and on for the first week or so. Anything that increases pressure in your abdomen is going to hurt

Tylenol the pill form or liquid? My surgeon gave me script for oxy but I don't want to take it.

Capsules, I put in my throat then sip it down. You can break it up. I only took 1. I'm feeling better already. Took shower .

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
