When isbur surgery medic

Updating.....I'm sick have been for about a week. Not really sure whats going on, still losing weight but I feel awful I was scheduled for an ultrasound on the 8th of April but they have moved it up to tomorrow, they are thinking my gallbladder, ulcer, or some other craziest, even dehydration. , I dizzy all the time, don't want anything to drink or eat, i just want to sleep if I could sleep, i average 2 or 3 hours a day, I look like a raccoon from lack of sleep, I feel like garbage...I just want to feel better, so between feeling sick for more than a week, Having Lupus and fibromyalgia is not helping. I just want to feel better, and continue on my journey. On a positive note it feels no nice to fit clothes that I haven worn in year, down a couple of sizes and feel good about that, ok I gotta hit the bed, before I pass out, because right now that is how I feel. If you know how to pray please pray for me................Thank you

What I would do if I was you is go back to the basics. Cut back on the carbs, increase your Protein and veggies add a shake a day. And seek some counseling on dealing with your emotional stress. I wouldn't worry about stretching your pouch at this moment you need to focus on your emotions so you can get that under control because once you do that you can focus on losing that twenty lbs and maintaining.

Yep forgot that one...Again call your doctor

What some fail to realize it the weight we have gained, happen over a course of many many many many months and years for some. WE can't think that the weight will just drop of quickly because we were given a tool to help change our lifestyle. We must learn to be patience and take it one day at a time and appreciate that 1 lb or 10 lbs weight lose. Everything take time, being frustrated and stress doesn't help anything, except to possibly give you a very unwanted ulcer and unwanted belly fat. So lets ease up on ourselves and take it one day at a time. I know your dr wants you to weight every day, but I wouldn't especially if it is contributing to your stress. He will be alright if you don't trust me on that.

How long ago were you sleeve, here is a little test you can try pull your foot while you leg is str8 toward you. If you feel any pain in your calf it is possible. But if you are feeling pain in your I wuld call your doc. Alos if it feels extrmemly warm and hot to touch call your doctor, if you see a red line call your Doctor. I would call your Doctor. Don't wait

Hey Russel I have been having the same symptoms, along with back pain, nausea, dizziness. I called my dr today and he rdered some meds for me Cara-fate and has me scheduled for a ultra sound of my gallbladder. I would give the dr a call on tomorrow.
