Yeah! Congrats everyone on your weight loss! Okay... I was sleeved 11/4 and I am down 41lbs!

Hey Lissa, Okay sorry for not being descriptive but it's like a tightness, and I still can't sleep on my left side when before I could sleep on it. But the pain is on the right side of my stomach near the biggest incision. It hurts when I stretch a certain way and maybe when I bend but only on that side. Is this normal? I am assuming that a hernia would hurt way more and they checked for one prior but maybe I developed one from not taking it too easy? Thanks, L

Thanks for the info... so how long did it take for the tightness to go away?

Hey anyone out there develop a hernia AFTER surgery? I have a strange feeling in my stomach not sure what it is.... Thanks

Hello! I was sleeved 11/4.... everything is going rather smooth except sometimes when I eat soft foods, which I just started I get back pain? Does anybody else experience this? Normally I just stop eating or drinking but is it normal? Also, I went back to work after 2 weeks... I work about 11hr days and I feel like the right side of my stomach is hurting more than usual. Its not a sharp pain but more of like a tightness. Did I over-do it? Before I could sleep on my side and now it hurts more .....theories? Thanks! L

The symptoms are burning feeling in the stomach, bloating 24-7, sharp pains in the stomach.... I'm sure there are others. A lot of people have H Pylori without even knowing they do, the statistics are high with 3 out of 4 people having the bacteria. Hey Terry, I'm getting better with the pills.... still can't wait to finish!! Thanks Ciao, L

Thank you everyone! Yea, these pills are horrible... I swear I have every one of the symptoms from taking them... dizzy, diarrhea, nauseated, horrible taste in my mouth!! Ugh I wish I caught this prior to my surgery! Well, I will definitely lose more weight cause i'm hardly eating! The positive of it. I have to do the same thing .... 8 pills a day for 14you days! Boooo good job on completing it Terry! Thanks, L

Hey VSG folks, so I'm 14 days post-op and just started the antibiotics for H Pylori! Anyone else have it? I am on my second day only and it's making my stomach hurt!! Ugh and those pills are HUGE! They make me feel as if I'm choking. Any tips on taking the pills or H Pylori on a whole? I feel like I'm going to loose even more weight cause it hurts to eat today! Thanks, L

OMG! I just had some egg drop Soup, it was so good and settled in my stomach so well. It's super tasty! Anybody have any puree soup recipes? On another note, I had my 1 week follow-up after my surgery and the Dr informed me that I had h-pylori..... anybody else out there have that? I start taking antibiotics tomorrow... I hope it works!! Ciao, L :blush5:

Oops I mean.... WLS team

Hello everybody!! So, today I had my one week follow-up with my ELS team! So yea, I have lost 26lbs! Exciting!! How is everyone else after 7 days? Ciao, L

AWESOME! thanks for the input. Yea, I know about the Gatorade and tea, although while I was still in the hospital I asked one of the Dr, what would happen if I don't get all that water down and he said if I had at least 2 32 ounces of Gatorade, I would be okay because of the electrolytes.....but he told me to get in the water. lol My dietitian though, said at this point both are important, water and protein. Can't wait till I get to the puree phase so i can blend up some soups! LOL
