Thank you for posting everyone. I'm day 3 post op with severe spasms and shoulder pain and just feeling tired and bummed. So happy that it gets better

Ok so I am now 9 days post op and the spasms have finally stopped. My surgeon told me to buy buscopan tablets from pharmacy which helped immensely. I finally feel I've turned the corner :-)

I am also 9 days post op now and finally feeling pretty good again. I was swollen like a beach ball until last night. This morning it finally came down significantly! Hooray! I am also no longer having the spasms. Hang in there it really does get better.

This has definitely been a tougher recovery than I anticipated. However, I am still glad I chose this and am excited to have my new tool helping me change my life!

June 10 was surgery day. During this recovery stage, I've regretted it every day so far. I think it could bet anxiety getting to me. The discomfort and pain I'm in makes me feel like I've been defeated. That I had to go through this extreme to lose weight.

When will the pain and discomfort end? When will it get better ????

Are you feeling any better yet?

Thank you for asking. I feel really good. However there are days where the port area hurts and seems to swell ( bulge out). I'm not sure why. Really I'm just dealing with it.

My port area hurts too, I think it's pretty normal. I'm glad your feeling better. This surgery really effects your body physically and mentally more than I thought it would. Hang in there

Amen to that! You said it right. Definitely mentally along with physically. I've been an emotional rollercoaster. I just keep here for positive thoughts, and keep in mind that it will get better. Hope all is well with you. ????????????

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
