today I went to see my doctor.. I was in for a fill a few weeks back. Had tight restriction. But was able to eat. It is getting close to Time of the month.. Seems as if things are tighening more.. I went in he took out 2 cc I believe.. I havent been able to eat well at all for the last few days. Last night was awful..Was up not even being able to swallow my own spit.. Trying to throw up nothing.. My pillow was wet.. Gross...

Felt somewhat better today after slight unfill but now burping and chest fullness is coming back.. Could it be I am still swollen from throwing up or more needs to come out.. Yikes.. cant the unconfortbaleness

I am not sure what question you're asking...but if you can't swallow your own saliva you are still too tight. Call the doc back.

No I can swallow now. but still cant eat to much just wondering about if I have swelling if that is the reasoning or need more Fluid out.. I know no one can say forsure. Just looking curious about others stories.. Can you have swelling for a few days after puking..

Well, after a fill my doc (and many but not all others) recommend just being on fluids for 24 hours, then moving to mushies etc. So yes you can be swollen for a while.

If you can get liquid down then just don't eat anything thicker until Fri but by Fri am, if it were me and I STILL felt like you do, I'd call the doc. (Since Sat is a holiday)

We're all different of course...

liquids only! This is a cycle that you need to break. Each time you try to eat solids you are irritating your stoma more and that isn't letting the swelling go down.

      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.

      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.
