Oh Jessica, I'm sorry you are going thru this now but after reading what others post it does in fact get better... Much better with time. Read others posts and you will see that some go through this and soon they are back to normal. I would say if you get worse to call your doctor. Be strong and feel better.

I was in the hospital from a Friday to Monday... after about a week the pain got better... On Tuesday I could drink more. I couldn't handle room temp liquid it need to be hot or ice cold. Experiment with your temps... and remember your tummy is mad at you right now. I was told that when I had the surgery.

It gets better everyday. I was only able to take pain meds for 2 days and I only took it at night. Try to focus on getting Water in, it really does help, try ice chips if you have a hard time with drinking water.

Make sure to check for other signs of leakage. Non stop vomiting is one.. Do you have a fever? if unsure, make sure to check. Leakage can be fixed, but it is not something you want to wait on, as then it can be lethal. Better safe than sorry. Call your doc!

thanks everyone for the advice and comments. I just wanted to give u all an update and let u know that the dry heaving and throwing up has completely stopped. I am keeping down liquids now...not very much at one time but its staying down. It almost feels like as the liquid goes down it pushes the gas up and causes a lot of pain. My incisions don't really hurt at all except the lower right hand one which I believe is the largest one...its got the biggest band aid on it. Im staying with my parents tonight bc my husband works nights and they have been so helpful, they got a room all setup for me and everything. I am very blessed that I have such an amazing family. I was very emotional today and kind of had a breakdown. Today is my 23rd birthday and I had no visitor at the Hospital BC everyone works and goes to school which I understand so I was so ready to come home and the minute I got to see my little girl (4 yr old) it made all the bad things go away. She kissed my tummy and asked me if I wanted to hold her hand to get out to the car. It was soo cute. So even though I don't feel the greatest ...this really is a birthday to remember...bc I will look back 100 pounds later and realize that I did this all so I could live a longer healthier life for my daughter, family, more kids to come hopefully and most of all myself. Thanks for all the support!

You are healing so things are not always great but they do improve as each day passes. I am 8 weeks out now and almost back to a new normal. It is a life changing surgery, that is for sure. I hope you feel much better now that you are home. Sometimes the pain meds can cause a lot of nausea. Good luck to you!

Glad you're feeling better. A heating pad helped me with the gas pains. Even at 4 weeks out warm drinks turn my stomach. They have to be icy cold. To the point I was sucking on ice chips. It really made my stomach feel better. The first few weeks-month will be full of ups and downs but you can do it!

Yup, this is the part they NEVER tell you about before surgery. . this is the part no one is mentally ready for. . . mine hate for the sleeve lasted 3 - 4 months after surgery. . .I'm out 3 years now and let me tell you, what these folks say is true, it does get better. . . good luck!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
