Just had mine this morning. No nausea so far or gas pain, but I do have incision pain

Sent from my SM-G986U using BariatricPal mobile app

I wanted to share a "time lapse" of pictures of my transformation over the past 3 years 7/2017 - 5/2020. I have lost weight, exercised and I have my life back and I am living it again. All of us are here to fight this demon and I wanted to show my pictures as encouragement to show it can happen. Will I be a size 2? Probably not, but I am happier than ever with my life and myself. I am currently pursuing removing my stomach skin with my original surgeon due to recurrent abdominal and navel infections. We shall see what the insurance says about it all.

I’m channeling my inner Elle Woods today 😂

Hi all!!! I had my surgery 3 days ago. June 1st. The first night after surgery was terrible!! I have never ever felt pain like that in my life. And it wasn’t surgical pain, it was gas pain, from all the gas the pump in you so they can see your organs better. They said walking would help, and it did a lil bit. Yesterday day 2 I felt much, much better. It was a good day, still some pain but not much. Today I was released from the hospital, and I feel good. Just trying to get all my fluids in so I don’t dehydrate. Let’s see how this journey goes.

June 30th RNY for me. I am excited but worried about the pain after. I start my liquid diet on 06/16

I’m back and alive guys! But man, not smooth sailing!
I had my sleeve done at 730am yesterday. Got to my room and felt great. Got some Fluid and Protein in with no problem, and walked walked walked.
Around 5pm I started feeling terrible. Sharp pain in my shoulder an left side, straight down from my armpit. Pain meds wouldn’t touch it. Everyone kept saying it was just gas pains, but I was dubious. I couldn’t even breathe without these stabbing pains through my chest.
At midnight my nurse came in to help me go to the bathroom, and I straight up blacked out and fell. Didn’t get hurt at all thankfully, but was told to take it very easy. This morning my nurses tried to help again, first by having me sit on the edge of the bed. Blacked out, hearing went, totally weird and scary.
My labs were all over the place, super low blood pressure, and my heart was racing even laying down, so my surgeon suspected a GI bleed. CT confirmed it, but didn’t show where the bleed was.
Back under the knife just a few hours ago, Wherever the GI bleed was, it had stopped on its own, but they suctioned 1500 cc’s (almost 50 ounces) of blood out of my abdominal cavity. I also got a blood transfusion. I feel brand new. Labs are coming back good, heart has slowed down. Whew! What a wild ride.
But I tell ya I’ve been living off of ice chips and Water for 2 days, and I haven’t had one single hunger pain. Looking forward to getting out of here.
Don’t let my story freak you out! My surgeon has done 6000 surgeries and said about .025% of his patients have complications. I’d still do it again even knowing what was lying ahead for me.

Mine in June 29th too! Congrats

Hello all! My first post, and I’m really appreciative that a community like this is available! I’m a 49 year old female, scheduled for VSG surgery on June 2 with target weight loss of 90 pounds. I’d like to find a buddy(s) going through (or have gone through) the same so we can be supportive, share tips, and just be losers. Please reach out if you’re interested! Wishing you all the best!

I'm going in in 36 hours, May 20. 😬

Congratulations on your surgery date🙏🏽woohoo!
Mine is June 23rd.

But I wanted to comment on that dang Covid test.....😭😭😭😭😭😭 I had the test done three times due to a bad cough I’ve had for two months.
I cried like a baby and now my doctor’s office is tell me I’ll have to have another one before my surgery. 😱

Good luck & Many blessings on your surgery GOD is with you🙏🏽
