Anyone with similar issues?



Recommended Posts

I just hit the 4 month mark since my surgery and I have noticed a few things going on with me lately that I have not experienced before. I have recently been feeling a discomfort under my right rib area and a discomfort/acid feeling in the area below my breastplate (pretty sure where my esophagus and entrance to my stomach meet up).....I had gone off my Pepcid at the 3 month mark, but I began taking it again due to these issues. I also experience an episode of nausea last night that I had not had in months.

I have had a really good experience up until,l recently. I have lost 46 lbs and have not thrown up at all. Is anyone else experiencing anything similar to this at the 4 month or beyond mark? I am paranoid that I have a leak or something.....any advice would be great :-)

When I had that, it was my gallbladder... if you still have your gallbladder, you might want to be aware that rapid weight loss (and a low fat diet for months followed by a couple of fatty treats) both increase gall stone risk.. which kind of feels like labor pains in your stomach instead of your uterus.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
