Lucky you, I was sleeved the 13th as well and I am still in a lot of pain, as well as being superrrrr itchy under my breasts and tummy. Not around my incisions though. The largest incision is quite painful, especially when I cough or sneeze. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Omg I totally have this same problem!!! And if I walked for too long of a distance, my feet would sometimes go numb from all the weight on the outer sides. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Oh man, I'm kinda jealous that your still in the hospital! I only got 1 night there, and it's been horrible here at home. The gas blockage is out of control. Just burping here and there and walking like a crazy woman has been all that's helped me. I'm 3 days post op too, and I'm exhausted and wish I could still be getting liquid pain meds through the IV. Because these pills aren't doing anything!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Ugh, so my surgery went well, no complications, but since I've been home, I have been in so much pain. The gas pain right Fter surgery was killing me. I had to get up and walk like 5-10 laps every hr to try to burp out the gas from anesthesia. I have a stomach binder on, which I think is helping a lot, but I still can't sleep on my sides and I'm a side sleeper!!! I have to sleep propped up on my back and I still wake up every hr. The coughing from the breathing tube feels like my sleeve is about to burst. I know it wont, but it totally feels that way. I'm having a bit of trouble getting my protonix pill down, as well as my Dilaudid pills. They keep getting stuck in my throat. I was able to sip on Water, and have an ounce of sugar free Jello, but other than that, I can't drink fast enough, I'm always thirsty. Anyways, hope everyone is doing well.

I feel ya! I would seriously give my left arm if I could just fart. Haha. I know it will make me feel better. I hope it gets better for you! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I am experiencing all of those things. The gas is the absolute worst right now. Everyone else who had surgery in my ward yesterday seemed to not have any gas problems, since I was almost the only one up walking 5-10 laps every hr to relieve it. I've been home now for about 4hrs and I am super sore and tired. I cant have more than 3 baby sips of my broth, and about the same of my Water. I am miserable, but I don't regret the surgery 1 bit. My grandma always tells me "this too, shall pass" I just wish it would pass sooner!!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

They only gave me the pain meds and nausea meds. They said I would just have to walk and take deep breathes to expelled it. I honestly wish I had been able to pass gas though, because my burps are tiny and I still have a lot of gas blocked in my chest. I can only take teeny tiny sips of my broth, and water. I haven't even gotten near my 15 1oz cups an hr. Its more like 4oz/hr for me since I still have so much pain. My incisions don't hurt too bad, just the gas and getting used to not taking a big gulp of water when I'm thirsty. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Can you post a link to the stomach brace/stomach binders you are talking about. Thanks. https://www.amazon.com/Medline-4-Panel-Abdominal-Binder-2X-Large/dp/B009GPZD5W I got this one, it gets good reviews, and feels sturdy yet comfortable when I tried It on. I just know that with my luck, I'll have to cough or sneeze like crazy after surgery, and I will need something to help it not hurt so bad. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App Is this something that your doctor/hospital recommended getting or is it just from word of mouth?The Nut recommended it in my class, but mostly from other bariatric patients recommendations Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

UGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS SUCKS!!!!!! I had VSG done Wed. July 13th @@Kaiser Richmond and I have had so much pain from the anesthesia gas and I've been walking like crazy. Dilottit every hr, with zofran for nausea. Its worth it for sure, but it sure has been difficult to get this gas out of my chest. Plus it took me forever to go pee for the first time!!!!! Aweful. I feel a bit better today, possibly from all the walking. But its hard to drink since my throat Is sooooo sore from the breathing tube. Sorry to sound like a whining baby, lol, I know it's what I signed up for, just wanted to tell everyone how my experience is. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I have also bought a stomach binder! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Thanks to all for the well wishes! I'll post again as soon as I get my phone back after surgery! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Good luck! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App Thank you much! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

It absolutely is for me at least, and I'm assuming it is for you as well if you went through any type of pre-op appts or classes. At least we can lean on eachother if needed since we will both be sleeved tomorrow. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I am tomorrow! July 13th! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

My surgery is tomorrow too, We are sleeve sisters!! Stay strong, you have put in so much work and you abviously are ready, or else you wouldn't have worked your booty off to get where you are today. I am nervous too, but just remember that I will be getting sleeved tomorrow with you so you aren't alone! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I am not on any type of pre-op special diet, just a basic meal plan. I just has my last meal at 545, since I had to be done eating by 6pm. I ate well, chicken breast, and a salad. So not shitty, so my surgery can go smoothly tomorrow afternoon hopefully. I did get cleared to be able to drink Water only tomorrow until 11am which is awesome. I'm nervous, but excited. I guess I still don't feel like it's really happening yet. I'll keep you guys posted tomorrow about my pre-op stuff and then Surgery at 3:05pm! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App I wish you the best as well!!!! I guess we are sleeve sisters! Lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I was instructed by Northern California Kaiser to take Centrum Adult chewables, an Iron supplement, a chewable Calcium citrate, a Vitamin D3, B12 sublingual, and B1. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I would also like to hear some input on this. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I have a surgery time now, 3:05pm. That is kinda good and bad for me though. Good because I Don't have to wake up at the crack of dawn to find someone to watch my son, and thwn drive an hr to the hospital. But bad because I am going to be miserable all day without a drink of water! I can't have anything to eat or drink after midnight before my surgery, and I am the type that I HAVE to drink Water when I wake up and throughout the day. So having to wait until after my surgery to get some liquids will be torture!! But it's so worth it! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I have to stay 1 night as well, at least my cousin said she will go with me, so I wont be alone. I'm kinda a big baby when I'm alone. Haha. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Absolutely!!! I'll be on here up until they make me put my phone away, and then right after surgery when I'm ok enough to get it back! Lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Thanks!!! Im super excited, but nervous because it doesn't work out with my husbands work schedule. He works a double shift that day, and an early single the next day. So he's upset that he can't be there for me. But this is super important to me and the sooner the better!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Agreed. My hubby is a bit mad at me because he has to work a double shift that day, so he won't be able to be there with me, but I'm sure he will get over it. Its just so important to me to have this done before I go back to work. So the sooner the better! I'm having Surgery at Kaiser in Richmond, Ca. How about you?
