Hope everything will be fine with you tomorrow

Great to hear from you guys and very happy for your progress Just one question though; is eating only 2-3 oz of anything is normal :? I cant eat or drink more than that at a time and thought I might have stricture especially when I used to eat more 10 days ago!! If it is normal for eat just 2-3 oz each meal I will be happy to hear from you guys and will make me feel relax to know that I am "NORMAL". Thank you and hope to hear from other buddies as well.

How are feeling now guys???

How are you feeling now guys?? When did you take the surgery?? What was your SW and CW?? What are you eating and how much?? Are you exercising?? Did you experience any pain, discomfort, late complication such as hair loss, strictures... etc?? :)

I had that problem when I was 8 weeks after surgery (i am 11 weeks now), i started to have pain after eating solids while it was fine up to week 7th, i barely get any fluid in so I went to see my family doctor who told me it was either strictures or inflamed stomach, he increased the ppi dose for me and put me on fluids only for few days, i am feeling very well now and i can tolerate some solid foods again thank God. I will get barium swallow test next week to see if i have stricture (i hope not). Good luck.

Dried prunes was the answer of this issue for me. I hate taking laxatives so my mother told me to take few dried prunes everyday and voila, i have no constipation anymore and it taste yummy too Good snack for a very good reason Good luck

Praying for you.

Call your doctor he needs to rule out leaking!!

What are you afraid of?? Dont be afraid to eat, you have a tool now If you gain you know the way back, just stop there and start to maintain like you doctor adviced you before you became sick and regret being anything but healthy. Good luck.

I am eating hard boiled eggs with no problem.

I lost 30 lbs since my surgery on March 27 My BMI was 32 when I had my surgery so my doctor said I will be a slow looser which is ok with me, I have 10 more to reach a normal BMI and 25 lbs to reach my goal weight BUT last few days I experience some more restrictions to the point that I couldn't tolerate solids anymore, the doctor said I might have some strictures, it is a normal late side effect for gastric sleeve and bypass patients which usually start after the 8th week of the surgery, so he ordered upper GI tests for me to do it next week, if i have it they will have to stretch it anyone else experience something like that?? Wish me luck guys.

My sister had it, it was horrible experience, she lost some weight (only 6 kg in 6 months) because she was puking all the time then when she took it off her stomach was more larger than before so she put double the weight she lost during the baloon period. It is kind of kick start for diet people so you can continue the struggle on your own after removing it.

Hi guys I posted a while ago that I can't tolerate solid food like I used to few days ago so I went online to read about it and guess what?? It might be strictures which are more common complications than I was expected!! It starts 1-3 months after surgery when we can no longer tolerate solid food anymore so we need to see the doctor for it then depend on the upper GI series the doctor will decide if he is going to use the endoscopy to dilate the stricture and for how many time we need it!! Is there anyone here or heard about anyone who had that to talk about his or her experience please?? I am sooooo scared. Thank you.

I took my surgery in Amman Jordan with one of the most famous bariatric surgeon there (Dr. Khrais), it coast me $5000 US plus the plane tickets and two nights stay at the hotel before the surgery (was very nice vacation loool) I stayed two nights in hospital after surgery, the doctor and the staff were very very nice, my friend went there too three weeks ago and did it with the same surgeon, she is so happy with 0 regrets Good luck all.
