Time will go quickly, make sure you are prepared for your pre-op diet (if you have one).

Was there anything you particularly wanted to ask or know?

Hi there, my op is 25th May. to be honest I wish it was next week! I am getting more and more anxious, and the buildup is full of nerves. One minute excitement then fear. Also, I have gained 7lb in the last few months which I am trying to control. It is nerve wracking.

Gastric sleeve may 26th... Starting the preop diet..why am I hungry before even starting the diet. Ugh.!

It’s mental. The first 3 days are tough and then it gets easier. Remember the end goal. My surgery is Monday. Good luck.

Just had a revision VSG on May 15th. I was having problems with a foamy phlegm blocking my throat. It seems to be a lot better today. It had been rather painful to swallow. So now I need to work on my hydration. I haven’t been hungry.

I suggest having a stomach binder. It will help add pressure to the incisions and relieve pain. Best of luck! I’m two years out, I was scared as hell, but it was 100% worth it.

Hi there. I think people are posting all over. Also, everyone's experience will be different. One of my friends said she would have taken my place because I had virtually no pain. However with my experience laat week, I was really loopy due to the anesthesia. Of course, I had no appetite and did not eat, as my surgery began around 7ish in the morning. Later that evening, I was more alert and went walking and cracking jokes as usual. Still no pain. Also I had my gallbladder removed as well. I had a good night. The next day, my surgeon wanted me to drink some broth as all I wanted was ice chips. I did and went home around 3pm. I purchased the stomach binder and never used it. I will say 9 days out, I'm still trying to get as much Protein and liquids in as possible. So for me, very little pain, thankfully little gas pains (I had plenty w/ lapband; and my energy is picking back up. I hope this helps if you have more questions please feel free to ask. All the best!
