Super weird question. But has anyone ever NOT felt all the side affects from Sleeve surgery? I had VSG done Monday 10/07/19 I feel minimal pain from my Incisions unless I lay wrong or try to pick something heavy up. I’m not hungry really ever, have yet to feel Nauseous or overly full. I feel a small difference when I drink too fast but that’s it. I’m kinda scared that things are going to well that I will then experience all of the side effects at once.

Hi,
I had my surgery the end of July. I did not have any issues with my surgery. Just minor soreness at the incision site where my stomach was removed. It only bothered me when I moved wrong. My gall bladder surgery recovery was worse. Best of luck!!

Welcome to the "boringly average" club - those of us who have had no particular post-op issues, where everything goes pretty much as advertised. The problem cases - those with abnormal amounts of pain, nausea, vomiting, etc. - are in the minority; it only seems like that is "normal" because those are the ones that post the most about having problems, while those with no problems have nothing to post about, so we don't see much of that side of the game. Same thing with those who, for whatever reason, have to endure weeks of liquid dieting pre-op - they post a lot about the problems they have and when will it end, etc. while those who aren't put on such diets have nothing to talk about, so it seems "normal" to have to do it.

Congratulations on your surgery, glad you are healing well.

I’m five years out and bounced back quickly with no complications. My pain was managed with medication. I had prior surgeries and experienced giving birth. I had a good reference to pain. My pain was minimal in comparison

This site is not a good representation of statistics on positive/negative experiences with bariatric surgery. You don’t see the posts on positive experiences. Most don’t feel the need. You will see many posts from people with complications because they are here for support

My symptoms were minimal. But my main incision did hurt. Rare nausea. Otherwise good.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
