Two days out and in pain - normal?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I had surgery on Monday. I had so much pain from the gas, I thought it would never end. Now it’s two days later and I have chest pain when I swallow and stomach pain/soreness when I get out of bed. I been following liquid and Protein intake instructions. I’m seeing MD tomorrow. Might it just be heartburn?

First of all....congratulations on your journey!!

Now.....are you walking? Best thing you can do for gas pain. I am 6 days out and have set my phone alarm to remind me to get up and walk!!

Yes, very very normal!

It will slowly lessen each day and eventually disappear. It took me a few weeks.

Hang in there!

Just like what has been stated it is normal to have gas pains several days out. I was having them up until about 4-5 days out. If you are having second thoughts then please talk to your Dr at your appointment just to be on the safe side. It may not be gas pain and it is better to be safe than sorry! I know my surgeon pretty much told us to call anytime and there was no question that was a dumb question!

the gas is honestly way worse pain that the stomach pain. try using heating pads where it hurts.

      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. 🤞
