I'm a little over two years out and since I was 3 or 4 months out I had sever hunger pains. Like within 15 min of eating my stomach would growl and roll like I had not eaten all day. When I asked my doctor he laughed at me and said ya your little stomach is having hunger pains and told me to go see a therapist because the pain is in my head. I asked if it was reflux but he told me no that it is in my head. Up until then I had done great from a starting weight of 260 down to 235 on the day of surg. to 189 in less than three months. Once the stomach issues started I stopped losing and I know I was grazing because I felt hungry and if I ate it would stop rumbling. I have not seen my doc because when I had scheduled my last appointment his office cancelled me 5 times and never rescheduled the last appointment. So now I don't even want to go back there between what was said to me before and them cancelling so many times.
But within the last 6 months I have really started to gain a lot of weight were I had been holding at about a 15 pound gain . But my problem now is I have had three episodes recently where I would get a sever pain in my mid stomach region. I started taking omeprazole to help with the acid but it does not seem to work. I tried prevacid also but no help. Yesterday I had another attach and I could barely sit my mid stomach area hurt and then I had this burning feeling all the way across right below my rib cage. I had my gallbladder out over 10 years ago but i have also had a similar dull ache on the right side right at the bottom of my rib cage for a few months. Just not sure if this is a complication of the VSG, Has anyone had anything similar. I'm thinking I need to find a new doctor but not sure if that is possible as I don't want to see my original doctor after he blew me off and would not even listen to me and see if there was something going on. I don't get acid up in my throat like normal acid reflux does so not even sure what that part could be.

Not sure what hospital that is, I used Baycare and say dr Hall in Plant City and loved him he is very good.

my fitness pal is great and there is also one called lose it but I like my fitness pal and I have been using my fitness pal because it is the one my nut suggested to us.

After having my gallbadder out over 10 years ago I went threw years of having bathroom issues. I could not eat fastfood without having to go to the bathroom within 15 min later. I found that if I ate anything high in fat it triggered it. I saw a doctor and he told me that the gall bladder holds the bile that is released to break down fatty foods so since I did not have a gallbadder anymore it was being released into my small intestine and it was causing me to have bloating and pain and runny BM. It has gotten better and now since being sleeved and still in the pureed stage I have not really eaten any fatty foods to know if it will still happen. To tell you the truth I'm having the other problem of only going every three or four days.

My doctor told me only walking till he sees me again for my one month check up and then he will release me to workout. He said that even though I may feel like doing more my inside is still healing and its not like the outside when you can feel it. I figure better safe than sorry. I also took three weeks off to let myself heal and to get use to eating because its trial and error it seems. I work from home so I don't have to worry so much about eating the wrong things. I'm glad I took the extra two weeks off to get use to this, I had originally only wanted one week also, but my doctor insisted on two weeks and then a third due to I also had a hernia repaired that I didn't know I had.

I have Cigna insurance too.I'm kinda early in the stages though I have seen a dietician and scheduled to meet with a psychologist next week. My doctors office said Cigna can be picky with the approval

Congrats.

OMG I'm on day 9 of this and I so want something to eat, I went to Sam's to get some stuff and they were sampling cheese cake and chocolate cake, all I could think was really really is this a sign, but I was good I didn't have either and got me the heck out of there. This is hard but this too will pass. I keep telling myself you can do anything this is not forever some day you will eat chicken again,
