I was in the hospital for four days with high b/p, fever and poor spo2. Everything is a lot better except with sleep pains. Does anyone know any tips to treat some of the sleep pain. Hydrocodone doesn't seem to work much.

Sorry you had such a rocky start. Could the sleep pains be entrapped gas? I imagine you didn't many chances to walk with the fever.

I pushed myself to walk about 12 times a day bit I think you're correct. I'm taking gas x and my stomach is making so intense sounds but it's not releasing it much.

Ha -- my stomach is noisy, too! I guess keep walking and sipping and things will settle down! :-)

I am having trouble sleeping as well and this is despite the gas. I hate to say this but you and I may just have to power through. I managed to find a semi-comfortable position but it still is not that great. Are you allowed to take Tylenol? It is not an NSAID and it does seem to help reduce inflammation some which in turn reduces pain.

I have hydrocodone and I've only been taking 1/4 of my dosage. But this morning I tooky full dose and I feel a lot better. But of course my period started this morning too and that's causing me more pain.

Many people find it difficult to sleep in bed immediately after surgery and instead sleep in a recliner for a couple day.

I wish I had that option.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
