I had it too! And in a couple more veins. It happens :/

I would go see your doctor. I had this symptoms (the pain was absolutely terrible) and it was thrombosis in the intestines. I'm not saying you have it, but if you don't get better you should see him/her. It may be something that needs treatment.

Hi there! I'm 10 days out and I'm having diarrhea since Wednesday (5 days). I'm following a diet that requires to drink milk or yogurt 6x a day. I'm wondering if I developed lactose intolerance. I'm seeing my nutritionist tomorrow morning but I was wondering if it's common to develop this disease after WLS. Did anyone develop it?

It is only a reason if it is too uncontrolled 'cause it can be dangerous to binge eat short after the surgery. If it was an absolute contraindication, half of us wouldn't be eligible for the surgery. My surgery was delayed before because I was psychologically unstable. But that was for the best, as I really wasn't prepared for the changes I would be going through. I believe it is good to be honest, so you can decide if it is the best moment for WLS.

I'm on June 25! ????

Actually I'm going from the Netherlands to Brazil. World is kinda big. ???? Thanks for the tips! I'll try to find this sample packs or a funnel ???? It won't be an easy day...

My date is June 25! It is already June, we are almost there!

Hey there! I'll have a 14 hours flight 7 days before my surgery. Does anyone has a tip for this kind of situation? Thanks ????

Hey! I identify so much with your story. We have about the same BMI and I was just struggling to accept that I really need this surgery and that is the best choice for me right now. I just hope I do not change my mind again before the surgery. By the way, my surgery is only two days after yours. Have a nice trip!

Hey there! I'm a 24 years-old Brazilian girl and I'm obese. I'm here to try changing this last part of my self-definition. It's interesting how it is impossible to define yourself properly. What are the characteristics that make me who I am? Will losing weight redefine how I see myself or who I think I am? When I was 7, I started having psychiatric issues, such as depression and food addiction, which triggered my weighting problems. Other few psychiatric diagnoses joined this list in the following years, trapping me in a cycle of psychological and physical problems. I have never been able to dissociate mental and physical health in my life. When ever I had a change in one of this parts of life, the other would follow. Next month I am undergoing a Sleeve Gastrectomy. My aim is to lose weight and brake this cycle (and keep I broken). I know it won't be easy, but if it was easy, we wouldn't need such a drastic action, right? It's blog is just so I can express myself and organize (or not) my thoughts. Warning: You might find some posts in Brazilian Portuguese throughout the blog, sorry if you can't understand it, I will probably be too pissed of to write in any other language. Well, feel free to invade my mind.
