I just got Sleeved two days ago. I went home yesterday and had massive pain in my arms, wrists, and hands. Not being able to lift them at all.

I went back to the ER and all they did was check my stomach and made sure I wasn’t having a heart attack.

I was wondering if anyone has gone through this? My arms are swollen and red, warm to my touch. It’s painful to move them. I was wondering if maybe it’s the gas inside the body moving where it shouldn’t be.

Hello! I’ll start off with I am a 35 yr old woman and I weigh 250lbs. I have been following this sub Reddit for a while now. I was suppose to get the gastric sleeve about four, maybe five, years ago. I was so ready for it and I started my pre op diet, I had one week to go with my surgery date ready and unfortunately family stuff happened and I couldn’t go through with it.

At the time I had lost 30lbs and was literally ready for this. I was confident in myself. Now I have gained 20 of those 30 I had lost.

Went two months ago to the surgeon and we started all the clearance process, and I was excited. I trust him, and the group I am with are all amazing. I was ready for it…and now that I am slowly being cleared from everything, I am becoming terrified. I am trying to convince myself that I NEED this.

I want to be able to enjoy my life and be healthier. I feel like i am getting cold feet. I still have to get cleared by my therapist who knows I’m not ready yet, and I understand that completely.

I guess what I’m looking for is advice on, if you felt scared and thought “hey I can’t do this” but you did it anyway, how was that for you? Everyone keeps telling me to do it on my own. I feel like I can but it’s getting harder for me. Any advice is welcomed.
