Sick as hell. I was in the ER yesterday for what was possible appendicitis turns out it was the stomach flu with colitis. Morphine barely helped the pain.

I can't stop throwing up and having diarrhea. I can't eat solid foods because I throw them up.

I'm fucking miserable.

How am I going to survive this surgery?

I am so sorry!!! Geez, you must be miserable. I havent had surgery yet, but I have heard from several people that they felt wonderful the whole time and never got nauseated or threw up. That is what I am counting on for me, hahahaha.

You will be able to handle it!!!

Did you have the surgery yet?

So sorry you feel bad!

I imagined that sleeve surgery would be terribly painful - like the stomach would hurt. In reality that is not what i experienced.

I experienced some nasuea from the anesthesia (I always do) but they kept me pumped full of anti-nasueau drugs so i didn't throw up.

I felt like i had done 1000 situps from the muscle repair - only time it was really bad is when i mistakenly tried to use my ab muscles one day post op!

I felt some pain in my shoulder due to the gas they blow you up with

Mostly, I felt kinda tired, scared and exhausted from trying to get fluids in etc. It was so much work to get back to eating solid food (over a long period of time of many weeks as per my surgeon's plan). Eating became a "chore" which at times was emotionally uncomfortable.

I know not everyone has the same experience, but for most of us the physical pain wasn't really the hard part.

That was all 4 years ago come December and it was all so worth it.

Feel better soon!

@@tssiemer I am so sorry. You sound miserable. I really hope you feel better soon.

For what it's worth, I didn't feel so hot for a few days after my surgery, but I never felt even remotely as bad as you do now. I really believe what you're experiencing at this moment is likely much, much worse than what you'll feel after surgery.

One month pre-op, I was in the hospital for 8 days with ischemic colitis. I was so sick. My primary told me later that he thought he was going to lose me or that I was at best going to lose some bowel through surgery. However, I recovered well enough that I was allowed to proceed with my sleeve surgery a month later!

So, I get it how absolutely miserable you are right now. The sleeve surgery was my 12th operation, and frankly one of the easiest recoveries I ever had. For sure, the inconvenience and nausea were aggravating, but well worth the effort.

Here's hoping that you recover quickly from your current malady. Hang on to your resolve and join us on the other side of the losers' bench. Hugs from Chicago.

Both stomach flu and colitis can be extremely painful. I don't think you should consider this to be any indication on how you will feel after being sleeved. Hang in there and get well soon.
