loveeroxx 22 Posted April 9, 2018 Had VSG surgery this morning. I woke up with bad pain in recovery. I’m feeling better now but still having a lot of gas pains. About to go walk around the floor to see if that will help with the gas. I’ve been tired though in & out of sleep all morning. So far so good though. 6 PeacockConnie, Creekimp13, TropicalBeachDoll and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raeraerae 59 Posted April 9, 2018 Welcome! I hope the walk helps. I had a similar experience and I walked as much as I could as often as I could while in the hospital. It really helped. 2 loveeroxx and tmbasile reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southern Buns 21 Posted April 10, 2018 Gas pains will pass. I was 2 days post op before I passed gas. 3 days post op before I had my first bowel movement. My first night after surgery was not good. I had terrible nausea and dry heaving. Don’t be afraid to ask for nausea meds While you are in the hospital. I even asked for a prescription to take home. I haven’t needed it since night two though. I’m 5 days post op and I feel good. 3 loveeroxx, N.Lyshay and TropicalBeachDoll reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrandiJo2009 14 Posted April 10, 2018 I had vsg 4/4 and my first 24hrs of recovery was miserable! The nausea and dry heaving were horrible and i couldnt get comfortable. I am now 5 days post op and things are much better. Just a little sore and tender. Biggest struggle now is getting Protein in[emoji21]🤢 which makes me want to vomit. Good luck and congrats!Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app 3 nebula1117, loveeroxx and TropicalBeachDoll reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonight was the first night I felt my food/ drink slide my throat to my tummy. Weird. Does anyone else have this issue?

nebula1117 1 Posted April 10, 2018 The first 24 hours were awful! Hacking, Nausea almost vomited but nothing came out because my stomach was empty. Left the Hosp, felt amazing. Then I had a low grade fever 99.8. I had the tremors in the evening, turns out I may have caught a virus while in the Hosp, which doesn’t shock me, but I began to shake all over. It was dehydration. I did it realize I didn’t drink enough Water. It was suggested I sip H2O all day/night. However, even with all that, I’m happy I had the sleeve! 1 loveeroxx reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I keep a cup of Water by bed and throughout the night I sip and sip. Despite it all....I have no regrets about the procedure. 2 TropicalBeachDoll and debbie89 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
