I just had my surgery yesterday. I'm so uncomfortable and wondering if I made a mistake of epic proportions. I could use some reassurance right now if anyone can help. Thank you!!

Hang in there it will get better i had my done 2 weeks ago and I felt the same way but it will pass just think about how good you will feel once the weight comes off. That is my motivation right now not feeling knee pain as much and having more energy for my two kids.

Just so you know it's very common to wonder if you did the right thing. I did and i know a lot of people who did as well. Week one and two are the hardest. You're in pain Mostly gas pain I HIGHLY recommend gas x strips. They were my savior. It's hard but you can do it!!

I'm glad yours went well...great to hear. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the tip (gasx strips). Also, thanks for responding!

I promise it does get better every day. I had surgery June 10th....and know your feelings.

You had major surgery and it is hard in the beginning. Good news is after day 3 you will get better and better until you forget you even had surgery and can just enjoy your weight loss. Chin up!

It gets better! You've come this far and you can do it!

Thank you guys! You are inspiring & supportive...????

It does get better. Soon you won't even remember what the first few days post-op were like. Keep sipping and walking and resting.

It will get better!! ???? I had my surgery June 1 and the first night was not fun! It does get better and walking really helped get rid of the gas pains! Make sure you are taking your pain medication as prescribed and try and relax and focus on the new you!

It will get better, I was sleeved on Tuesday and I finally really feel good! Just keep up with your pain meds and water and if you feel excessive pain or can't keep your liquids down, call your surgeon and go to the hospital ASAP! You are going to do great! (:

I hear ya. I had the exact same thoughts. I was sleeved 2.5 weeks again; each day has gotten a bit better. I cried some tears of frustration on several occasions and still find myself wondering where I can find the light at the end of the frustration tunnel. But everyone who is much further along has been very reassuring and very positive about having no regrets. We just have to hang in there through these difficult parts

You will feel so much better in a few days. I am a week out and I am feeling great. As the weeks go by I know that things will get better and better. Stay positive and push through. You'll do great!

I definitely remember that feeling. The only time I've EVER regretted surgery was in the first week or 2. It's a major physical AND emotional change. I promise it gets better. Browse through my blog.....you'll see.... It's worth every ounce of work, sacrifice, tears, sweat, and change. Good luck to you on your journey!!

The only mistake of epic proportions is dying too young because someone never wanted to fix a problem that could have prolonged life itself
