saudisleeve

Jeddah over two years ago.

I only get pain if I have eaten too much and tried to have a sip of a drink. Just take it slowly.

Yes, I have been doing leg exercises ever since and it gets worse. Hopefully it will settle down.

Ok just saw my doctor (who has had the sleeve done and is about two years out so can actually relate) and he said that I need to do more leg exercises and build the muscles up to support the new me. Even though I am not carrying the same weight my muscles need to be strengthened and to try and work on that and see how it goes. He said he had a similar thing with his lower back but it took a while before he could strengthen it. Good luck everyone. Oh and by the way it's my right hip too lol

Thanks everyone. I too am off for a check up today but I think it is just because I am not carrying around all that weight. Unfortunately there are no chiropractors here In Jeddah so will have to wait until I go home to Australia for an adjustment. I will try more stretching. It cannot hurt. As for the exercise, yes it is worse after I have been very active but even quiet days it still hurts. I am not complaining I would not swap this for anything just wondered if anyone else experienced it. Thank you.

I was just wondering if anyone else gets pains in the legs and hips. The pain is deep. Not sure if it is related to my weight loss?

Hi denise33. Just be positive and you will have success. It is not a bad thing. You just need to be ready to adapt to your new way of life. It is just the same as before but in smaller doses. It is the best thing ever

Wow well done. You have to make sure you take your vitamins straight after breakfast or you will be sick. Good luck itch the Zumba

Miz B I know what you mean there are so many supplements to take but no more blood pressure and hopefully one day soon no more cholesterol tablets either. I did not need insulin but was almost at that stage. That was one of the factors that made me decide to have the sleeve done. The pill box is a great way to make sure you are taking all you need.

No. Had it checked prior to the sleeve but it was all ok.

Good luck with your procedure. You will love the sleeve. It is the best thing I have ever done. I have had no support groups or seminars only the doctor that performed the surgery and I only see him every three months and he checks my blood work and weight and the rest has been up to me. I was ready and I won't go back

You will succeed. Give it time. Your shoulder must be getting better and you will be able to get moving again. This is the best tool ever for loosing weight. Just live your life, concentrate on the protein, the hair fall will slow down. I too am having hair loss but it seems to be slowing down now. Life is great

Wow you look great. Well done

I am 8 months out and have a drink when I feel like it. Usually only one. Yes it's empty calories but you know that. You cannot stop living. Enjoy the one and move on.

I am 8 months out and it is the best thing I have done. I have just turned 53.
