:confused2:Ok so i am 5 weeks post op. I have done great up until this morning when i woke up with this heavy feeling on my chest that radiates around to my back with movement. As i soon set up i started to get very nauseaed. I have been unable to eat much today. I have been able to drink some Protein Shakes and Water today but nothing more. I havent had any fills yet, I go for my first fill on monday. Im not sure whats going on with me. Has anyone had this happen to them? Any and all advice will be welcome. Thanks in advance for all ur help. This sit is awesome and very helpful.:confused2:

I hope you feel better soon.

I got nauseus with my gallbladder and the pain radiated from the chest through my back. Gall stones are common for people who are losing alot of weight quickly.

If the pain gets worse, please call your doctor. If you can't keep fluids down, call too, or go to emergency room. Don't get dehydrated.

Take care and keep us posted.

Nessa38, I was trying to figure that out myself before. Go to the main page, and to the left where all of the topics are (like, "general Lap-Band discussion"), click on one of those topics, then near the top of the page in blue it will say "new thread", click on that and write away!

everyone is right. Probably best to check with your doc...BUT, my doc. told me that if I start having symptoms like you are experiencing to back up and go to the step I was in before the one that made me feel bad. In otherwords. I am only a week out and on Clear Liquids. I will go to full liquids tomorrow. If I feel bad I will go back to clear liquids for a day or two and try again. Hope that helps. Sounds like you might need to do that if you are keeping some foods that were OK before you went to the next phase.

Thanks for all the advice. I called my dr's office this morning and the first question the nurse asked was if i was preganant. I told her i was not and am almost 100% positive im not. If i am its a miracle of god.. But off that and on to waht she sadi was proably wrong. I was pre diabetic prior to surgery and she said that my sugars are proably jumping around and causing me to get nauseaed when i dont eat for a while. So now im am soupst to get a snack of fruit about an hour before bed and she if i stop having the really bad nausea inthe morings. She said that the pain is proably brought on by the nausea so to just keep a eye on it and they will see me monday. If it gets worse this weekend i am to got to the er. So thanks for all ur kind words last night ans today..

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
