Hi I am a little over a week out of surgery. I started mushies yesterdat and everytime I try to eat them I get a side ache in my left side that lasts for an hour or so. Has anyone else had this or know what it is? :biggrin:

I'm not sure if its same thing but I read in another post that someone got aches in shoulder when they ate too much (gas?) maybe... I'm not getting banded until Aug 5 and going to same doc as you... I feel confident about doc but nervous about procedure in general - that maybe somehow it just won't work for me. Did you feel good about hospital? Doc? Hotel? thanks, sorry, I'm not able to help yet.

Yeah I know the gas in my shoulder feeling. This is different. Its lower and deep in my side. I think Im going to go back to liquids for the rest of the weekend till I talk to the Dr on Monday.

Majpie-If you want to know about my experiance with the Dr, hospital there, and hotel, you can go into my thread in July bandsters called "my mexico thread" Here is the link http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f18165/my-mexico-thread-98183/ It documents the whole experiance day by day as I was there getting banded with Dr Rumbaut. And if you have any other questions that arnt in there, just private message me. :tongue2:

I couldn't eat mushies until week 3 and by then I was pretty healed and it didn't hurt. If it still hurts on Monday call your surgeon and ask.

Some people say that the ache in the left side is a sign of being full. Remember that being full will feel different now than it ever did before. Hopefully that's all this is. :tongue2:

      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.
