Its probably nerves, but I wouldnt take any more/other medication for it.

If you're actually ill, it will probably become evident by morning, and there's nothign you can really do, fingers crossed for you that that's not the case. It sounds like you're a bit wound up and probably are gassy as a result.

I am no expert, but my guess is a cross between nerves and hunger.

I know that feeling of "Oh my, is this a gas pain or is this my appendix/gall bladder/kidneys/liver/stomach/spleen/any other organ between my ribs and my hips!"

As simple as it sounds, just try to go to sleep and I bet you will feel better when you wake up!

Good luck tomorrow!

Its probably just your nerves. I cant tell you to relax, because I remember the night before my surgery...I was a mess! However, THE Garth Davis is doing your surgery...you are going to be in great hands. Good luck to you.

I hope you are asleep by the time I responded to your thread. If you are still awake and reading posts in this forum then...GO TO BED! :embaressed_smile:

It's probably just nerves like others have already said. Good luck tomorrow, or actually later today. I'll be looking forward on hearing how everything went.

I was having the same pain and Just found out that instead of having my lapband surgery on Thursday I now have to have my gall bladder removed. Maybe its just your nerves if its something more they will find out tomorrow anyway. Don't worry , you will be fine just say a prayer!

Good luck with your surgery. Like everyone else has said, It is probably just your nerves. Right before my surgery, I had the same kind of pain and thought, "what a bad time for something to bother me now". I was afraid of having appendicitis or something else, but all turned out fine.

Let us know how it all turns out.

Sincerely,

Stephanie

      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.
