So had my surgery yesterday! Initially everything was ok!

However I just can’t stop vomiting! It’s horrible. Everytime I stand or sit up I vomit, everytime I take a sip of Water I vomit. Even when I take liquid meds I vomit.. so I’m feeling very sorry for myself 😩

has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

I don’t have any advice except to let your doctor know. I’m hoping you feel better soon

@eholmes89 I know it seems nearly impossible (it happened to me too) but keeping hydrated is definitely the most important thing right now. Speak to your doctor about the difficulties you’re having, Try to walk as much as you tolerate that seems to help too.

Surgery was scheduled for 7/17 & today 7/14 I got a call from central scheduling & my Dr's office that the hospital is under staffed & has no beds.... What a sad day... [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]
I was trying to get this all done & be onto stage 3 by the time school started. Now I have no clue when it will be rescheduled for...
Now back to waiting & Praying it will be very, very soon.

I am so sorry! I can’t imagine getting all ready and psyched up only to get that call. Hoping it can be rescheduled soon

Sue2, I pray they can reschedule for 7/21 or 7/28 it won't be as much time before school but better than middle to end of August.

I’ll be praying with you! I understand the need before school. I have kids and used to teach. I’ve taken last year and this next year off to try to get healthy. Hope all goes well with you

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
