I was sleeved on 10/14/16 and since December i have gotten a period every month. My body is clearly still sorting itself out because sometimes my period will last longer then a week or two. My surgeon took me off the metformin day of surgery and I haven't looked back. Facial hair i want to say is about the same but I had laser hair removal a while ago to greatly reduce it. Cysts in armpits have all together stopped which is fantastic. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Yea the bill was unbelievable. Mine for the surgery and overnight stay was $71,000! Thank god for insurance. They covered that bill 100%

You shouldn't be seeing ads from outside advertisers, especially the likes of McDonalds!! Help me out so we can figure out why and where this is occurring, please. Are you using the app or website? Are you on a desktop computer or using a mobile device? Where are these banners appearing on our page? I am getting the same thing she is talking about. When I use the app NOT a direct browser I get ads for games in the app stores or food places too.

I had something similar but in my right side. Every time I breathed in I felt the sharp stabbing pain and my ribs were tender to the touch. I called my surgeon after dealing with this for 5 days and the had a stat CT scan done. Mind you i just hit a month post op today. They wanted to rule out a pulmonary embolism. Thank god I had negative results and no PE was found. They think I over exerted myself and strained something. This was all on monday, it's Sunday now and I can say it's the first day where the pain is completely gone and I can breathe with no discomfort. Maybe it's possible you have done the same?

I thought I was the only one! I am 3 weeks out and I've noticed I wake up sometimes with my mouth slightly open and super dry. This all started after surgery. I never had a problem keeping my mouth closed before. I use the nasal pillows as well. Sounds like I may need to speak with my pulmonologist and see what she recommends.

Congratulations!

Thank you everyone for the responses. Sounds like I just need to keep trying ☺

I was sleeved on the 14th and I've noticed that water is like my worst enemy right now. I can have gatorade, teas, popsicles, (all sugar free of course) and I can eat oatmeal and yogurt with no issues but the second I try to introduce water it lands like a rock in my stomach and hurts for about 5 minutes. I used to love water and I have tried room temp rather than cold but nothing works. Anyone else having this problem? Or better yet did anyone have this issue and figure out a way to overcome it? I'm going crazy because I felt like water was my break from all the sweet tasting stuff and now I don't even have that.

Are you sure it's hunger and not acid churning in your new stomach? I was going through the same thing and when I mentioned it to my surgeon he upped my omeprazole and poof "hunger" was gone. I was sleeved on the 14th so I'm still adjusting too. I admit that it gets boring but I just keep reminding myself that it's just for a short period of time and it will all be worth it. Try calling your surgeon and see what he says about the hunger and talk to your NUT to see about other options to help change things up. I hope things start looking up for you ☺

I was just sleeved on 10/14 and I have PCOS. I'm interested too. I know my surgeon already took me off the metformin but I still haven't discussed it with my pcp yet to see if she agrees. Anyone go back on it?
