I don't drink coffe but I drink tea. Their going to go on with a scope and check things out. He haant mentioned any other surgeries tho. I really hope not

I also experienced sharp pains on my right and left side. Dr told me it was normal. Eventually it did stop. Good luck

Does anyone know if its normal to get ulcers being post op? Its been a year this month and now I have ulcers and a pouch on my sleeve. Dr said I have a pouch growing off my staple line due to low blood flow after surgery. I've been very sick due to all this. I'm honestly scared and tired of always being sick.

Anybody help plz.... First off I'm 1 yr post op. I've been very sick for the past week (nausua, throwing up, etc). So dr ran some test and I have ulcers in my sleeve along with a little pouch in there. He said that the staple line didn't have enough blood flow and created a pouch. I'm taking meds for the ulcers now then were going to go in with a scope. Has anyone else ever had or heard of this? I'm a nervous wreck =\

Thank you. All this makes me feel better. Try sleeping with a pillow between ur knees. It might help with knee and hip pressure for you guys. Thats what I do

Thank you everyone for the quick response. Im going tomorrow to purchase a doughnut pillow

I had my sleeve done in june of 2013. Ive lost 132lbs. My tailbone hurts if I sit for longer then 10 minutes. Even in a nice patted chair. Has anyone else had this problem since losing weight? Could it be cause I use to have padding there and now I don't?

Im not eating veggies. My dr told me to focus on protein only cuz the protein shakes make me sick. I do exercise. I go to our local gym. Only go for about an hr a day, 3 days a week cuz I have no energy. I take my vitamins like I'm suppose to. I know its cuz of being hospitalized. I just need to gain my energy back.

Im 10 months out from surgery. I had a lot of energy until I was hospitalized for kidney stones and had 2 surgeries. Are we allowed energy drinks?

I was sleeved June 2013. I love it. Im down 131lbs. Im feeling great and want to tan. Will tanning beds hurt my little stomach? I know its crazy but I worry about everything

My sleeve was done this last June and since then I've had to deal with kidney stones 3 times. Does anyone know or experience this being due to the sleeve? I've had 3 surgeries to blast huge ones and I'm hoping I don't have to continue fighting these

Thank you both for replying. I was nervous about it

I'm 9 months out and was admitted into the hospital for kidney stones and they gave me Shasta pop why I was in there. They knew I had the sleeve done. Is Pop ok to drink?

I'm almost 15 weeks post op and have not lost any weight in over a week. I feel like I'm hungry more and I'm able to eat 5-8 bites now instead of 3-4. Does this sound normal?

I was sleeved on June 11th. Starting weight was 329 with 1 week per liquid diet. Went in to surgery weighing 319. Now 13 weeks post op I weigh 258. I maybe get 300-400 calories a day in. I can't do protein shakes cause they make me sick but I'm loving my sleeve. 3 weeks ago I never thought I'd say that. It does get better.
