I was recently diagnosed with sjogrens and am about 20 lbs from goal weight but the extreme fatigue and joint pain has put a damper on any workouts that I may have concocted in my head[emoji36] and that is very frustrating! I was banded in 2013, removal in 2015 and VSG 10/20/16. Fatigue started in 2015 but I thought once the weight came off I would start to feel better but had no idea that I had sjogren until about 2 months ago. So I am still learning what the new me looks like.

Surgery date 10/20/16 4'10 HW 199 SW 163 CW 139 GW 119 42 years I haven't lost anything in few months and a new diagnosis of sjorgens has kept me from pushing any workouts past walking (which I still do daily) put I am still determined to get the last 20 pounds off and keep them off. I am still learning my body with this new condition and at least this weight loss journey that I was already on prior to diagnosis is a benefit.

Sleeved October 20 down 36 lbs since surgery and 55 from highest weight. I'm starting to slow up as well but will keep pressing towards my next goal Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@ LipstickLady does it still hurt if you do eat too much or the wrong thing? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm experiencing this today . I am only on my 4th day post op but have felt pretty good the last few until today, it hit like a ton of bricks no energy at all. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 3 days post op and I have no issues with the gas or surgery pain. I still feel ok but I am having a hard time keeping anything down including Water. I was release from the hospital yesterday and passed my leak test so I am not understanding why I keep throwing up my liquids! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I did to take as needed but I haven't had an issue with nausea. I would literally take a sip or two and think every thing was fine just to spit ever ounce make up a few minutes later. It just wouldn't stay down. Only popsicles, but at least something would. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

***Update** I stuck with sf popsicles yesterday and this morning I was able to keep Water down!! Thanks all for the advice Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you I was just concerned about becoming dehydrated. I feel fine now and will just keep trying to get Water in and pray it gets better. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes 2 weeks starting October 6 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am scheduled for October 20 and feel the same way! I know it will be here before I know it but right now seems so far away Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm in the same boat... My husband doesn't even want to discuss my upcoming surgery (October 20) and I'm not really clear as to why he isn't on board. He himself has had wls in 2013 but I'm determined and am convinced this is the best decision for me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Finally approved and scheduled for October 20!! Right now this seems so far away Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

For me it did but no answer as to what the problem was Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App For me it did but no answer as to what the problem was Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

No solution or answer, but I also had breathing issues with my band. I was banded in August 2013 and about a year later started having breathing issues. My Dr. said everything was fine but ended up get it unfilled for relief and slowly began with the weight gain. I had the removal in August 2015 and hoping to finally have a revision this August to the sleeve. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My last appointment will be 8/1 and then submission. Hoping approval goes through smoothly???? and I get a date in August. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello my last supervised weight appointment will be 8/1. Hoping the approval process doesn't take long. 4'10 also and no surgery date set yet. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My Dr wouldn't do it in 1 surgery so I am having to go through the whole process again including 6 months diet monitoring, dietician and psych eval as if I were never banded... Quite frustrating but I'm almost there. Last monitoring appointment 8/1. Hoping approval goes through smoothly Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
