Thank you. I will let you all know.

Thank you I sure will. Tomorrow I am seeing him.

Hello everyone Haven't been able to chat for a while like I have want to. I again had complication and just got home from having the lower intestine revise. Had a obstruction and a lot of scar tissue which was preventing me from keeping food down. It has been a nightmare for me but I hope this is my last time. Within 11 month have had 3 surgury and 4 dilation. I believe this time I will be better. I do feel a little better. I really love this support group and need all the support I can have. I have a question. I have had this cough before I had surgury and it is not a pneumonia. I scream of pain even when I hold on and hug a pillow tight to support my stomach. I was wondering if anyone recommends or have wore a belly belt for extra support. Please let me know. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello Djmour Thank you so much. It's been hard but I have faith and keeping strong.

I eat oatmeal but make it natural not from the packet since it has a lot more sugar and carbs. Oatmeal is really good for you.

I do have sagging skin on my legs and belly and arm. I will consider plastic surgury when I feel stronger since I been having some medical issues but all will work out. Don't feel like you only one cause we all face through something. When the time comes then you can consider surgury. Wish you the best.

Hi. I didn't have this problem. I am normal as before having my surgury.

Hello Jessica Most likely it's the pain from the gas they use during Surgury. It can last a while. It should get better the more you move. You will be ok

Hi Michelle Trust me everything will be ok . You have a big heart to be there for your husband. That is so sweet what yiu said about him. I will help you as much as I can and maybe my story will help him feel better and knowing he is not alone. . I will email you soon.

Hello Michelle I will email you. I myself had gastric bypass last December and been through a lot and also lost 89 pounds within a few points. Please don't lose hope for your husband. I will email you and tell you my story or even talk if you like. Everything is going to be ok. My name is Ana and my email address is anasantiago786@gmail.com

Hello. It is normal to feel tired but don't push your body to do more. When you feel exhausted , rest. Your body needs rest. Don't fight it. I felt weak also since I lost so much weight so fast. Have they checked your blood pressure??? They may have to do some blood work to make sure all your levels are good. You will be ok .

@@semausmom You are very welcome. It is so important the day you go into Surgury to be as calm as possible. You will do great. Any encouragement I am here. ????. I been through a lot but it was the best thing I have ever done in my life. You will be amaze to see how your life will change for the best in many ways. ????????????????????

Hi Yes burping is normal. I still burp a lot. Burping is good actually. Also watch what you eat. Certain vegetables make me feel uncomfortable.

Hello. I also feel the same. I am 8 month post op and I can't tolerate sweets. I would tell them to give you more broth or whatever you can tolerate. I use to love sugar and sweets . Now can't even look at it. Lol

I am 8 month post op amd still have gurgling. Try eating very slow and chewing your food until it is mushy enough to swallow. Did they give you anything for reflux?

Hi Yes maybe the apples. I eat and sometimes it can be anything and I also feel air bubbles or gas bubbles and it is uncomfortable at times. I think it's normal

Hello I am 8 month post op and yes I have been experiencing same feeling. It is annoying but what helps is taking the gas x strips. My stomach is always making sounds. Lol . I hope it gets better.

It has changed my life for the best and it will also change yours for the best. I wish you all the best and know we are here for you.

Hi I am having same issue and I am 8 month out. What do you feel when you eat? I been having a comfortable feeling when I eat. I feel full and than after like 10 to 15 minutes I feel this uncomfortable feeling like a little pain traveling up and feel like bubbles in my stomachs. It's kind of hard to explain but I would like to know if it's truly gas pain. Have you tried gasX strips?

Hi I wouldn't worry so much. My Monday it should be light or gone depending how many days you get it for. Don't worry about it. It will be ok. ????

Hello I want to wish you the best of luck. Be positive and be calm. Don't get anxious. Remember this is going to be a life change and you going to get healthier and feel great. Keep me posted how you doing and we are all here to support you. ????????????????????????????????????

Interesting you guys mention iron. I haven't been told what my levels are. I should find out. All I know is they say everything is ok but I want to start getting records of my blood work.

Hi yes this is normal. I am 8 month out and still freezing cold. They say it goes away after sometime. Not so sure when. At work they think I am crazy when they have to AC blasting and I am shivering. Lol .

Congratulation ????????????. Keep it up.

Congrats to you. Wish you the best.
