I just had vsg surgery on the 11th. How much weight should I be down? Also I am very tired to the point where I am up for an hour or two then nap for an hour or so. Is this normal?

At first I was up 10 lbs and the Dr said that was because of the gas and the IV fuilds.

20 mustang02 yes it is normal. Actually I was up the entire night before surgery. When I finally arrived that morning I was preped for surgery. I went up about 6:00am. I did not awaken until around 4:00 pm My husband and nurse said I tried to sleep the whole day away. I woke up pain free. ???? 4 wks post-op

I refuse to weigh myself right now... our bodies were cut open- we've got some serious swelling going on!

Give yourself a break- concentrate on healing well and getting those nourishing fluids in.

I had surgery on the 10th- band to sleeve conversion. I've slept lots- we heal when we are sleeping.

I hadn't sleeve done on 1/3/17 day of surgery I weighed in at 301 weighed in this morning 288 13 days and 13 pounds almost a pound a day

@@20mustang02 totally 100% normal. Everyone is different and depending on how big you were depends on how much weight you lose and how fast you lose it. My dad was well over 300 and he dropped weight like bowling balls. I was smaller so it was only 4 or 5 pounds a week. You were just cut open so you have Water weight and your body is in shock. Give it a few days.

I also got REALLY tired and weak...that's normal too for about 2 months. You're healing.

Best of luck to you!

Have any of you that had the surgery around 1/10-1/11 gone #2 yet? This is the last thing I "need" to do before I feel like I'm fully functional..if that makes any sense.

I was sleeved on 1/11. I was tired for three days but think it was the pain meds. I stop pain mads three days after and I felt better. Everybody is different I've lost a total of 8 pounds since the 11th. I'm on liquid diet and following it exactly. I do also walk a lot. I still have a little pain but Tylenol worked well and I'm still gassy. I know it's just a matter of letting our bodies heal right now and not concentrate on weight loss. It will happen

I was sleeved on 11/28/16. I also didn't see a difference becuz of the gas n iv fluids. I was off work for 3 wks becuz of the nature of my job, and I slept a lot. Plus, look at everything your body just went thru, it needs time to adjust to ur new stomach. It's true you heal when you sleep and by me sleeping a lot, when I went back to work I felt great, I had restrictions of course.

I was sleeved on the 11th and my Dr had to put me on Fiber gummies and then I have had no problems.
