Hi Everyone,
I have a question for anyone who has gone from a VSG to DS. I’ve been spending so much time on here reading and learning as much as I can before I have surgery. I’m seeing that there are a lot of people who have gotten the DS have gotten really sick or can’t keep food down after surgery. It’s making me really nervous. When I had my VSG over two years ago I didn’t puke once and still haven’t. Never took any pain meds, even in the hospital I had a morphine pump but never felt like I needed to use it. Yes it hurt but it was totally bearable for me.
My stomach was very swollen but I took things very slow. I’m not saying that I never felt like I needed to puke from getting to know my new stomach, but it seems like a lot of people are puking after the DS. It’s just scaring me. Is there people out here that didn’t get sick after the DS revision from VSG? I’m just curious how different my recovery will be from VSG to the DS? I know everyone is different but is getting sick to my stomach something I’ll just have to accept in order to get the DS? I can accept the smelly farts and poop, but puking….I don’t know. Thank you in advance for anyone willing to share their experience. Good OR bad.
