Tuesday is my surgery date November 28th. They didn't tell me I had to be on all liquids tomorrow but I think I should. Did anyone else go on just liquid before surgery

best of luck tomorrow!!!

I had no pain in the largest incision (the tummy out incision) and had my surgery 11/15. Well today out of no where while at work, I'm a sales rep on my feet all day, I felt a bit of pain. Now, its progressed to a full blown tugging, stabbing pain anytime I stand up and walk. Even after surgery I was sore but I didn' have actual pain. Did I possibly over extend? Or pulled something? I'm kinda freaking out. Thanks in advanced?

I had surgery same day and My pain came 5 days after. I have that same burning, tugging, holy cow it hurts pain on my left side, but I was told its normal. It’s getting better, but still not completely gone. Last night after watching a scary live I took the dog out and spooked myself in the dark, and ran to the door....the pain came back. Note to self no running!

I’m 1 wk post-op. Sleeved 11/20. How is everyone feeling. So far I’m doing great, learning to adjust to my new stomach but it’s been positive so far.

I had my surgery on Thursday 11/12 and I’m not a pain person so I was in pain but they were really nice and helped me out I did get up and walk every 3hours except at night I stayed 3 days. I say do what you’re comfortable doing. Cause my Soreness is still uncomfortable. I have lost 20lbs since the surgery.

So far so good!!!! Just started pureed foods today and getting full SO fast. Still in a little pain when I lean in certain positions. How are you feeling?

I got into a very heated argument tonight with my boyfriend and am scared I could have possibly caused damage to my sleeve or caused a leak? Am I overreacting? Or is this a possibility?

Thanks in advanced.

Damaging your sleeve or causing a leak is extremely extremely unlikely .

Hurting your abdomen/muscles or something like that is a plausible scenario. While perfectly normal especially after a major life changing surgery like this , I notice that you tend to jump right to the worst case scenario often

My sleeve was 11/13 and has been such a bizarre experience for me. First I had bad GERD for years before my sleeve and decided to do a sleeve anyway, and haven't had a single issue with reflux. As a matter of fact I haven't had a single typical sleeve problem at all. No abdomen pain at all, very minor shoulder pain tbe first few days, no gas pain, no nausea vomiting anything like that.

However I've had some completely bizarre painful other issues. After surgery my bladder got knocked out from anesthesia, so I had to get a foley catheter (while awake) which was more painful than the surgery and extraordinarily uncomfortable for a few days.

Then around a week ago I started getting the worst hamstring/butt area pain I've ever had in my life. Like crippling pain and ended up in the emergency room all day yesterday. They ultimately said the treatment would be some combination of nsaids steroids and muscle relaxers, all of which I'm not allowed so just take Tylenol (which isn't helping at all).

It's kind of bitterweet not having any problems with the surgery itself , but instead having this mish mosh of stupid random (really painful lol) other **** that keeps happening from it.

I can laugh about it because I'm sick like that, but damn it hurts

Anyone else have the sutures connecting their stomach to their skin? I look like I have a second belly button!

I know 😥 I blame it on my friend, anxiety. I get told often that my mind jumps directly to worst case scenario. I was told I needed to baby my sleeve and I think I took that to the chest a bit too hard. Lol
