  1. I don't see how people can over eat with the sleeve. It does happen. I can only eat 4 bits, I am full. My body also tells me, not to try that food anymore. I love salad. I can't eat it anymore with a little dressing. I dump. The dumping is so bad, I will not try salad again. It felt like something was attacking my body. I know a lady who had bypass surgery. She almost died. She started over eating. She gained all her weight back. She has serious medical issues now. Please don't over eat.
  2. Yes. Sharp pains. It was my gallbladder. I had it removed last Thursday. Better now.
  3. I had my gallbladder removed last Thursday. I had my surgery june 26. I was in so much pain 2 weeks after surgery. I went to the er it was my gallbladder and pancreas. The doctor put me on gallbladder meds. They did not work. Finally after going to the er each week my.surgery doctor finally removed my.gallbladder. I.had 200 gallstones that looked like pebbles removed. I wish I could have had mind removed during my first surgery. I guess its up to your doctor. I was told that most doctors will give you medication, so you want get gallstones. The pain from my gallbladder was unbearable. Happy its gone.
  4. Thanks. I have to give credit to God. He keeps me strong .
  5. I came home last night. I had 200 gallstones that looked like pebbles. I feel better. Again thanks for the kind words.
  6. Thank u. Still in the hospital. Gi test today
  7. Im so grateful for this app. Some many kind words and support. Im grateful that kind hearted genuine people do exist. Let's keep uplifting people.
  8. I had to come to the hospital before surgery have to have blood work, ekg and chest xray. I never had gallbladder issues, pancreas issues or liver issues before. After surgery is when this happen. I had my liver checked months before surgery by my Pcp. She checks everything. I read that gallbladder issues is come with WLS. I have really bad cycles do to the Pcos. I bleed for like 3 months. I went to my ob and surgery doc before to make sure I could have this surgery. They said yes. It would help. I was told today before surgery, that my cycles and all gallbladder issues and everything else could have caused all the heavy bleeding. When I tell you my cycles have been bad, they have. Plus I was taking off my birth control and put back on it. Taken off again but back on it. That was messing me up too. I was losing a lot of blood. My surgery doctor said I needed blood. He said I was pale. Im grateful right now . Because I got the help, I needed which is oh so important. After surgery my cycle slowed down. I had to explain to my friends and family that my body is different from the next. I knew the risk. I went to three different doctors they told me that this surgery would be best for me. I tried to diet own my own before. With Pcos we carry fat that's hard to get rid of. I was 250. Im 195 now. I lost a little more weight. Don't have insulin issues anymore. I don't take high blood pressure medications and im not at risk for heart disease and certain cancers. With Pcos you are at risk for all of that and more. Losing the weight and keeping it off is key for me.
  9. I hit you back. Im in the hospital. Getting a upper gi in the morning. Im blessed to be alive.
