Andrea Barnes Douglas, how has your situation turned out? Are you better? I am having pain under my left breast at my rib cage too. I am 2 weeks out and am curious about your situation. Thanks.

Woo Hoooooo!!!! Great work! I'm crossing my fingers for you!

The exam part to your ordeal is nothing short of amazing. Great Job! So sorrry about the vaca.. however I have a feeling you will make that up! Your situation sounds so strange, but at least for now you are holding stable. I do hope and pray you get through this fully and soon!

Tea tree oil will burn. May not want to put that on them. They are still open. Mine itch too.. yes they are healing. I just rub them through my shirt and scratch around them when it gets bad.

Sending my prayers. My hats off to you ... pure dedication. I hope they resolve this and you get those babies on a wonderful vacation! Good Luck in your Masters Program!

I am two weeks post op and had this last Thurs. Man... this tight burning feeling woke me up out of a deep sleep. I had to slowly get out of bed it hurt so much. I grabbed a bottle of water and sipped and it slowly subsidded, but then I went downstairs and got a gasX and this took care of it. I was told I could have a sugar free mints and had one before bed. Never again will I do that. I haven't had this pain since.

Hello, I am the same way. I am 2 weeks out and had some cabbage Soup broth with some of the cabbage pureed in it and dumped, I also had a non-sugar free popsicle (it was late and I was desperate) - dumped. I also called my doc and asked if I could have sugar free hard candy, they said I could have mints, well... I too dumped on that, and have found that crystal light makes me feel bloated and interally like something isn't right. I was told not many people dump after the sleeve, but clearly I am like you one of the unlucky/lucky ones.. I haven't fully committed to either. However, I am leaning on the lucky side because I need this tool to really keep me in check... especially in the beginning.
