  1. Hi there all, I am new to this forum or any forum as a matter of fact. I have decided to reach out as the only other person I know who has had VSG is my mother, who did not have any complications at all. 3 weeks ago today, I had my surgery. I was very unwell and it took me a week and a half to even stay out of bed for more than a hour. Then I started feeling more myself, I had cronic anxiety over that week and a half. for 3 days I was good I felt more myself and was even able to ngo back to university for two days, before I woke up and could not eat or drink due to inflammation, I was sent to hospital for four days on fluids and pain relief. I got out on Friday, feeling much better and ready to go to uni again. Then on sunday night I had emese pain huge cramping and sweating I went to Doctors and my bowels were blocked in my large intestine, (I have IBS) and had to have a enema, (sorry if this is too much information). So it is now Tuesdays, I am very week, drinking all my fluids and eating 3x a day. I am regretting ever thinking about having this surgery let alone actually having it. I had this surgery to help my health and my life, I feel like I have just made it worse. Does anyone feel the same way? Do you actually get to a point where your life does not involve around VSG and you can have a normal life again? I really worried. P.s I am on Vitamins and am intolerant to milk soy and Protein shakes since surgery/ tonight I have had incredible pain and v/loose bowels/gas ​
