I just have a couple of questions... 1 has anyone had blurry vision close up after surgery? 2 is anyone's sites on their stomach very sore on the inside (I have one on the right side under my breast that it burns on the inside). I was told this is the one he did the most work out of. I have not heard anyone talk about this on here. Other than these concerns I can't believe I can get so full on so little. Oh.... One more thing today I am down to the weight I was the morning i went to the hospital at. When does the scale start going down? I have a BMi of 36 and I know I will come off slower just looking for some input.

The best advice I can give you is...do not worry. i have read on here of different incision pains and they all eventually go away. I wouldn't worry about the blurry vision either but you could call your doc and ask him to calm your nerves. The scale WILL go down. I know at several different times after surgery I and almost everyone else on here worries about the weight dropping. IT WILL as long as you are true to yourself and remain honest to your diet. That doesn't mean you have to be perfect either. Just do your best and if your diet falls off the wagon...pick yourself back up and get right back on it. Good luck on your journey!

My surgery was three days ago as well. I too am having pulling and it is very sore on the far left side. My surgeon said that where the stomach came out. I had my gall bladder taken too, but no pain or soreness on that side. Some of the meds they give in the hospital can couse blurry vision. I haven't noticed it since I've been home. Good luck to you :)

I'm 2 days post op & have the same exact pain, plus back pain :( blurry vision could be a reaction to your pain meds.

Please tell me about the pain,that incision that's under your right .......breast that you are speaking of is where they did the most work and pulled your stomach from,my surgery was on the 7th and that area is killing me,it has a burning and hot sensation off and on,seems like it's pulling and just plain uncomfortable. Question...When you lay down do you feel this sensation like gas is on your chest or that something is going to come up? I tried sitting up after I eat about an hour or so but it still happen to me.

I was sleeved on 1/10 and last night was my first night sleeping at home and it was horrible. I woke up three times because of nausea. I was dry heaving and it was so painful. I drank Water to feel better but that made me feel worse. I took the nausea tablet three times within 12hour span. I just feel the only way I am ok is if I'm asleep. I am afraid to drink any water today and feel sick. Will this go away??? What have I done...:(

I heard thar I forgot it was on so I took it off yesterday. I guess it takes a couple of days to get it out of your system.

Wow... I hope that passes. I have read that on hear but I have not experienced that. Try to drink little sips you don't want to go back to the hospital. Hang in there it will get better. Think of the big pic...

@ anume that stabbing burning feeling is what I feel. I really hurts getting up and down or in and out of bed. I don't have that gassy feeling in my chest though. Good luck to you guys. I am proud to say I am off insulin for 2 days now and I was on an insulin pump. I am so excited. Lets keep our eyes on the prize.:-)

The beginning is a struggle. Keep Water by your side and sip sip sip....some sips I just wet my lips. It's lots of work in the beginning...to heal our poor stomaches from being surgically cut and stapled.

The good news is this is temporary...its not what your life will entail...this is just the time we have to spend healing our bodies.

Do the very best you can for your body to heal and you will be on the road to feeling good.

Congrats everyone!!!

You ladies are right. I can't assume this discomfort will be forever. I am feeling better already just from bed rest. I'm scared to drink but I sip Water anyway. It's remarkable how I am not hungry at all. That is the good news. I am from Long Beach CA and got sleeved at Kaiser in Southbay. Where are all you ladies at in your journey?

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
