Had Surgery today

[loveeroxx 22]

Had VSG surgery this morning. I woke up with bad pain in recovery. I’m feeling better now but still having a lot of gas pains. About to go walk around the floor to see if that will help with the gas. I’ve been tired though in & out of sleep all morning. So far so good though.

Welcome! I hope the walk helps. I had a similar experience and I walked as much as I could as often as I could while in the hospital. It really helped.

Gas pains will pass. I was 2 days post op before I passed gas. 3 days post op before I had my first bowel movement.

My first night after surgery was not good. I had terrible nausea and dry heaving. Don’t be afraid to ask for nausea meds While you are in the hospital. I even asked for a prescription to take home. I haven’t needed it since night two though.

I’m 5 days post op and I feel good.

Congratulations! Remember to, walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip. You will do just fine.

I had vsg 4/4 and my first 24hrs of recovery was miserable! The nausea and dry heaving were horrible and i couldnt get comfortable. I am now 5 days post op and things are much better. Just a little sore and tender. Biggest struggle now is getting Protein in[emoji21]🤢 which makes me want to vomit. Good luck and congrats!

I'm struggling to get thru my 2nd Protein Shake. I can get fluids down but not the Protein Shakes. Tonight was the first night I felt my food/ drink slide my throat to my tummy. Weird. Does anyone else have this issue?

The first 24 hours were awful! Hacking, Nausea almost vomited but nothing came out because my stomach was empty. Left the Hosp, felt amazing. Then I had a low grade fever 99.8. I had the tremors in the evening, turns out I may have caught a virus while in the Hosp, which doesn’t shock me, but I began to shake all over. It was dehydration. I did it realize I didn’t drink enough Water. It was suggested I sip H2O all day/night. However, even with all that, I’m happy I had the sleeve!

I'm sorry you had such a rough time. I keep a cup of Water by bed and throughout the night I sip and sip. Despite it all....I have no regrets about the procedure.

I like hearing the good, bad and the ugly. Want to have a very good idea of what to expect.
