I just got my surgery date today!!! Its February 1st!! 52 more days

Hi guys I was sleeved on 2/4 and today I'm having really bad pain that basically feels like someone is cinching a belt under my breasts and radiates to my back has anyone experienced this or knows what it is? it's happening during drinking and sometimes after drinking I've tried taking smaller sips thinking that's the problem and no dice.

I feel like I had this. Esophageal spasms my surgeon said. He said to stay on top of the pepcid. Good luck.

Well I’ll be checking in the hospital at 645am...feels surrreal but I’m ready to get the ball rolling...I’m more anxious than nervous but that may change over the next 8 hours I’ll try to update you guys tomorrow

I remember being in the same boat last week. You got this!!!

My surgery isn't till the 25th, but I've done a lot of reading and it sounds like the pain could be where they took the extra part of the stomach out. I'm sorry you don't feel well and hope it passes quickly. Maybe they one of your pain pills? Best wishes!

Thanks for the support I was trying to cut down on the liquid pain medication, but it tough with the pain.

Need to vent, I had VSG on 2/7 with starting weight of 305. I did put on 7 pounds in the hospital and as of today I am down to 303. I do not regret having the surgery at all, but I have been having bowel issues and pain. I went from nothing for 4 days to multiple times today. I could deal with just that but I continue to have pain to the right of my belly button. It is the only real pain I have had since the day of the surgery, but it stinks. Feels like my muscle is going to rip. Wish the pain would go away! Anyone else deal with something similar?

Is the pain on an incision site? I've read a lot of people have a lot of pain in one incision and it's usually the spot they have to tug quite hard on to get it out. I also watched a video of the procedure lol

I've had 5 abdominal and 3 were surgeries that they have gone throughout my belly button and I always have trouble healing there. I'm going to ask if they can skip it this time.

Soon it will all be a distant memory and things will be looking up. Till then, rest as much as you can!

The pain is actually a few inches below and to the right of the biggest incision. I also have had multiple abdominal surgery's and this pain is the worst. Just going to take one day at a time until it is resolved. I have my postop appt on friday, so I will talk to MD then. Thanks

I ended up needing an extra night in the hospital. Just couldn’t get much down other than water. Hoping today goes better and I can get home.

I think I would’ve benefited from another night but I’m sipping away from my hotel room. Honestly I think I’m coming down with a cold too. Just ready to fast forward a week!

I was sleeved on Monday and required an extra night in hospital due to not enough fluids and pain was making me nauseous! So praying today I go home! The pain first day was brutal but the more i walked and passed gas the better i felt! Now on to a healthy life! One sip at a time! ?

I’m alive! Lol everything went great just dealing with gas pains

Follow the liquid diet plan your drs have given you. I'm so happy I did. I had my surgery yesterday with no complications. It only took an hr and half. I'm extremely sore but I'm doing great. I will be released today. My dr was so pleased with how far I've come and in my recovery. My throat is sore so I've had popcicles and ice cold Water. That helps so much. I had some discomfort with heart burn in my chest and grogginess from anesthesia. I'm still pretty high from the pain killers they have given me so I hope this helps and makes sense lol Good luck guys! I'm in the biggest loser club!!

I am scheduled for 2/20, 1 week down of pre op diet, much easier now then it has been. I am trying to judge how my recovery will ... I know everyone is different but I am taking eveyones stories in right now.

Congratulations, I can't wait to join you

I had sleeve surgery on 2/6 and I’m feeling great. Just moving to a soft diet and lost 8 lbs the first week.

I had my surgery on Feb 6th and I lost 10 lbs the first week on the clear liquid diet, but now that I'm on a full liquid diet, the weight loss has slowed slightly -- I'm still losing but at a much slower daily rate. Has this happened with anyone else?

I also have a hard time drinking water still -- it makes me nauseous. I've been drinking a lot of other liquids but I find it impossible to hit that 3 liter daily liquid goal without being able to drink much water.

Other than that, I physically feel totally normal, hope you all are recovering well also!
