My daughter is one year out of gastric sleeve surgery. She has done very well but in the last couple weeks she has been experiencing very high liver enzyme’s and Billiruben in her urine. She is in the hospital right now and they have ruled out Hepatitis. They do not seem to be paying much attention to the fact that she has had gastric sleeve. She only drinks alcohol socially. And she is only 24.Has anyone heard of this complication a year after surgery or more?

He sounds extremely arrogant and ignorant. Talk to you your primary Dr. “no woman......” really? What a chauvinistic remark. Completely inappropriate. First of all, the number on the scale is not the only factor. Its not even the most important factor. It’s the percentage of body fat you loose. Exercise and lifting build muscle and muscle burns fat even when you are resting. Being healthy and strong are excellent and very appropriate goals. Great for you. Shame on him.

Good little concerned!

Today is my 1 year surgiversary and I stepped on the scale to find that as of today I have lost exactly 100 lbs which was my fantasy goal!!! Proud of myself today.

Tears of happiness in the dressing room! I never had that before! Size 10 and still don't know how to do a sassy face lol!

Six months post op. Finally tears of happiness in the dressing room. Size 10 and feeling awesome!

It has been the very best decision I have ever made in my life. First weeks were hard. Trying to get used to what was real hunger or head hunger and what was gas etc. Now I am very rarely hungry and it amazes me every day how little i crave anything or how little I eat. I am down to 178 and I have been at my longest stall of 3 weeks. I'm not worried I know it's normal. I feel like a different person. I run up and downstairs like I am 18 again. I literally feel little. I'm loving my sleeve!!! Good luck. You are in for a great transition.

@Torriluv87 I think that it is our nature to struggle. I have been were you are. What makes the difference is if you let your mind trick you into thinking it's ok to continue on that path. Take 20 minutes literally alone and have a conversation out loud with yourself about where this path will lead you and how you feel if you allow that. Start tracking your food again if you stopped. This is your journey. Your still in it to win it..... for YOU and you sound fantastic and normal. Good luck!

@@Foursmom that's great! We have similar stats. Can I ask how long it took you to get to 160 and how old you are? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It is a very normal phase. I promise. Same thing happened to me and a lot of people. I am 2 months out and went from being hungry everyday right after surgery to now I hardly ever get hungry. It will normalize. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
