I had VSG surgery on 3/18/19 had one week of smooth sailing and then all hell broke loose had every complication you can think of. I was subsequently converted to a bypass of 4/11/2019 and I am grateful that I have had no issues at all other then I still am having issues meeting my Protein goals. The good news is i have lost 53 pounds and I am probably only another 30 from goal weight.

Thank you... I must add that this forum really helped me get through a really bad stretch.

I am 5 days post op of a sleeve revision. I was sleeved 26 days ago and had severe complications. I was unable to tolerate any liquids let alone anything else. I suffered from severe acid and bile reflux. Happy to report as of now I am feeling great. I am close to meeting my new Protein goal of 80 grams.
I am still in some pain as the revision lasted 3 hours and I have a few more incision sites but getting better every day. Tylenol liquid has provided relief.
I have to say reading the various posts on this site helped me get through the past 30 days. Thank you all who contribute!

I'm 12 days post op and still not hungry.

I'm sorry your Dr couldn't see you. Hope everything turns out ok at City MD
I am 6 days post op VSG, tomorrow will be my 1 week anniversary. I felt absolutely horrible for the first 72 hours to the point I actually second guessed the surgery. The symptoms slowly but steadily improved. Today I feel almost 100% percent normal except that I'm a little sore still, not hungry and I struggle to drink shakes and Water.
My wife's friend had the same procedure and she looked like she was ready to leave the hospital 2 hours after the procedure. No pain no issues nothing. She was back at work the day after she was released.
Everyone is different hopefully as the time passes you will feel better too.

Hello all!! March 18th here.. I had 72 hours of absolute misery where I actually second guessed myself. I'm here now feeling almost 100% normal ( some soreness around surgery sites) except for the fact that a few sips of Water fills me up and I'm just not hungry. Looking forward to the challenge ahead knowing the rewards are great. Thank you all for your posts as I learned a lot from them.

First time poster long time lurker.. I want to thank everyone who does post as you provided me with a great deal of information!!
I was just sleeved yesterday and I'm sitting here in the hospital hoping to be released later today.
I am really have alot of nausea issues and acid reflux issues. I have been given medicine for both of those issues with limited success.
I had some soreness accociated with the incision but it wasn't necessary a pain.. except when I first got out of bed to walk!
Hardest part for me last night was dealing with the gas pains in the center of my chest. I seemed to have turned the corner of that hopefully as I am feeling better now.
I haven't tried anything except room temperature Water and trying to sip on a Decaf tea now. My Doctor suggests hot liquid as it forces me to sip slowly and not over do it. I was offered clear chicken broth and Jell-O but couldn't stomach the thought of trying them.
Anyway I'm excited for this new journey and thank you all again for getting somewhat prepared.

Hi Larissa I see we both had surgery on the same day and I hope you are feeling better.
I was in absolute agony after the anesthesia wore off and through Post Op day 1. I was extremely nauseous with vomiting and severe acid reflux. I could barely get 1 oz of Water down. I felt somewhat better on day 2 but I was extremely uncomfortable to say the least. Day 3 I just started feeling better. Still couldn't meet my water intake goals but I wasn't in agony and the acid reflux had subsided. I am currently taking 40mg of Omeprazole for 30 days. Yesterday post op day 3 I felt almost normal except for the part where I take to big of a sip of water and I'm done. Today I feel great. I have drank 46oz of water since 8am. I am constantly just taking small sips. Almost feels like a chore but seems to be working. I hope I turned the corner. I still have no hunger. I have drank chicken broth and was able to actually drink a whole Premier Protein shake yesterday. Will shoot to finish one later. Looking forward to to what day 5 brings.
Good luck I'm sure you will push through this too. The first night and next day after surgery actually had me second guessing it. Today not at all.
Feel better!!

Just wanted to thank everyone again and also do a little update. I am now Day 3 post op and feeling great. Acid reflux issue has been resolved (on omeprazole xr 40mg for 30 days). Nausea has been resolved. I have some soreness around the surgery sites but I walked 2 miles yesterday post op day 2 plan doing another 2 miles today.
I did not meet my Water requirement yesterday (Post op day 2) but hope to do it today. I just had 4oz of a Protein Shake (Premier Protein Vanilla) and feel pretty good. Just have to learn to take it slow. Sip & wait.. them sip some more. I have had zero feelings of hunger which absolutely amazes me.
Looking forward to tackling this challenge and its great to see I'm not alone. Thanks again all!!!

Good luck Dana.. feeling alot better now thank you

WELCOME AND YOU CAN DO THIS ITS NOT EASY HOWEVER THE REWARD IS WELL WORTH THE FIGHT AND MENTAL STRUGGLE CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW TOOL FOR SUCCESS

Congratulations! It sounds like your recovery is right on track if not better than most. I hope the reflux issue was only temporary and was resolved. Good luck with the rest of your recovery 👍🏻

Good luck Dana.. feeling alot better now thank you
