Got sleeved yesterday morning and now I’m home. I’m in a little bit of pain because of the gas but I’m managing. I’m in a full liquid diet which is better. I had some doubts Sunday night before surgery but I’m glad I went through with it. It’s a lifestyle that I need/want to be better and live longer

Happy for you that you did it and are experiencing minimal pain! Here’s hoping you feel even better each day;)

I've been having back pain since my surgery, and it's only gotten worse. Trying to avoid seeing a chiropractor, so I had my first massage last night by a high school friend that also had the sleeve last year. I described my pain to her and she did a deep tissue massage. REGRETTING IT. I've been sick to my stomach ever since. Threw up last night, and have been nauseous ever since. Woke up this morning feeling the worst I've felt since surgery. Just awful. Went to work and my boss asked me if I was okay. Told her about my massage and she said the massage released toxins into my system, which is why I got sick, but that since I'm not able to drink enough Water to flush the toxins out, they're sitting on my stomach making me sick. She used to be a massage therapist. She said I should've asked my doctor before getting the massage, but honestly, I never had a massage before so I didn't even think about it.

Just FYI for those that experience the same back pain I've had.

My surgery was March12th, VGS. I am 16 days post op or two weeks. Honestly, I was nervous. I think it was more because of the challenge that was ahead. However, I survived the procedure (barely) and my pain and soreness has subsided. I've walked everyday since being discharged taking it slow and steady building endurance. Please don't over do it. The weakness is real for me in the mornings. I think it's your decision if you want to let others in on your decision. I'll say, without my family and really close friends, it would have been a challenge. They are there to help. Let them. God's speed to you all. Let's get healthy...

      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.
