Holy Canoli ... Am I Dumping?
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I think I will do more research on this. I'm with you OneSassyChick79- I thought it wasn't supposed to happen to sleevers but to people who get a gastric bypass. Interesting.

Holy Canoli ... Am I Dumping?
That happened to me and I didn't know what it was either. I don't know if it was a slight allergy but it also happens to me if I have something with a lot of sugar regardless of quantity. Hmmmmmmmm. Maybe someone can offer some insight because it is a little freaky when it happens.

I Don't Want To Shart!
LOL. No Not yet- I'm 7 weeks out and it's never happened. I pray it never will- thought that was only supposed to happen when you are 80 and older.

Post Op Massage?
That is so sweet of your hubby. That being said, do you think you can lay on your stomach? I am sure they can massage you in side position if you can't. I don't think you really need to say much to the therapist unless they plan on massaging your belly. Other than that! ENJOY!

How Do I Set A Goal?
That is a really good question! I set my goal. It was higher than what my doctor said by 20 pounds but I felt my best at 160/155 which I weighed five years ago. But that is a really good thing to question. And I think there is a lot of "play" with the goal weight. For me- getting down to a size 11/12 or even a 9/10 would be a dream come true. And there is so much to consider- bone size, how do you carry your weight, body fat ratio, and comfort in your own body.

New Here.....should I Do This?
Girlfriend- you just made the best decision of your life! And you will have loads of support on your entire journey if you keep coming back here. I am 7 weeks out and thought the process has been pretty easy- no regrets and wish I would have done it years ago. You are going to love the results and on top of that- the benefits of having the surgery is a list a mile long. Good luck and I wish you all the best.

Laying On Stomach
Yup. When I would lie on my left side my stomach would get sore too- I think it is perfectly normal. I found myself switching side to side more often and that seemed to help, especially when I laid on my right side it felt better. I am 7 weeks out and can finally sleep ON my stomach without any pain which is nice. But I think my stomach was sore up until 5 weeks. Hope that helps!
