Feeling great overall but....

Hi All, It has been an amazing journey with the sleeve. I cant believe I have lost over 50 lbs and in a few short weeks I will be 8 months post-op.

Leg pain

Good Morning,   Just curious if anyone is experiencing leg pain. I am down 23lbs as of yesterday but i have noticed that my legs hurt alot. I have not started execising regularly but have walked on the treadmill a couple of times since i had surgery Dec 28. Is this normal?? Any suggestions on how to handle this in the future. I feel great other than leg pain. Im not sure if im not moving enough during the day or if something else is going on. Thanks for any advice   TD41

Head and Ear congestion

Good Afternoon,   Just curious has any one experienced head/ear congestion since being sleeved???

Just very curious if anyone has experienc
