Scared since vsg

[Perla 8]

I am so scared since my vsg 20 feb,18. I feel that I am not doing well like others. I have feelings of anxiety and bad mood that I doubt it was the right decision to do the surgery. Everyday I sense an ailment (breathing discomfort, chest uneasiness) in my body and I attribute it to the surgery. Even as soon as I started pureed foods I developed severe heartburn and inflamed stomach that my doc put me back on liquids. I have worries all the time that I will never be normal and that the surgery will cause me many complications. The point is that ii underwent vsg with a very determined will, nobody pushed me to that. I read about it months before and I was completely convinced that it was my only resort. I really wonder what's going on with me and why I feel so unhappy and negative? I will be glad if you can share your early experience after vsg and assure me that may be things will be alright.

It's early in your process, you had MAJOR surgery and are healing, be patient. Your new sleeve is going to be tender and needs time, you may need a PPI for heartburn and to take the food stages slower while healing.

Hormones have been disupted and you are not able to consume enough nutrition yet, I know once you get to a reasonable solid food level you will feel much better. For now rest, take naps, walk, and get as much liquid in as you can. Napping helps so much, let family help you right now. In another two months you will have lots of energy and feel very different than today.💖. Hang in there.
