could be excess stomach acid, could be head hunger, sometimes I have some Water when I get like that and it goes away.

So sorry you have had this many complications, I hope you get good doctors to resolve all that has happened.

That is absolutely fantastic! You are an inspiration to me!

I am so sorry to hear this! I hope it is going to be an easier road from now on. My experience around the same time and the very same city was so different than yours. I am glad that you were able to stay positive!

This makes me so happy to read. I just had band to bypass on 9/11. One week out and I feel physically okay, but depressed and nervous.

Congratulations! I also was a diabetic, I had the roux en y on 8/24. I am no longer a diabetic. I no longer have high blood pressure. Best thing I ever did for myself!
So far I am down 30 lbs!
Enjoy your Journey !

Wow thanks for this info. I am actually day 7 post op and had no bowel movement. I don't feel too bad yet, mostly worried.

The sickening part is if you paid cash for the exact same procedure and same length of stay it would've only been between $20,000 - $30,000. That's how much hospitals inflate the bills to make an insane amount. I know cause I paid cash and my surgeon was the best in Houston. So seriously...it's a shame they even charge you that $1,000.... This is why the cost of insurance is so out of hand.. I know..I work in the industry.

Thanks for this I needed to hear this. I will enjoy it. I was thinking maybe it's good I'm not stretching my pouch out.

I use Patch MD they're awesome.

"You may see me struggle but you will never see me quit"

So this is great. I thought I was the only one with horseback riding. Decided to have surgery when I realized I was over limit.
1. Family portrait
2. Comfortably get on husbands motorcycle.
3. I have a goal dress. But it is a xxl so hopefully that will come fast.
4. Wear boots over leggings
5. sleep well
6. Run a 5 k
7. Buy something at the Black and White Store. Or at least get it from a thrift shop.
8. Hike Mt LeConte
9. Skinny jeans that aren't called the new skinny.
10. Walk in shorts without having to do that little twitch to keep shorts from riding up my legs.
11. Bathing suit that does not include a skirt.

It's weird how the body works, but just so you know you will come to a stall while eating right, I came upon many during my journey and I'm 9 months out. In the beginning there were many and I just felt I was doing something wrong, I would switch up my exercise, adding more water, less yogurt & more Protein etc... times when I thought I wouldn't loose any weight I'd step on the scale and would have lost 5lbs. You will loose, you will even gain, and you will stall. Just stay encouraged everyone's body is different and will have different experiences. Good Luck in your new journey!

Hi , I did too on the 3D week. I was still sore so I wasn't really moving around much but once I started walking outside the weight started to fall again. Give yourself a little time and just increase the walking to a few minutes each day and you'll see you'll start losing again. Blessings to you!

I was sleeved the day after you. My cravings kicked in today. My husband was eating chips and salsa, which triggered all sorts of cravings. We can make it through this!

I too am having bypass after having the band, lost 80 pounds, then it slipped, started gaining weight, had it removed, same time had the sleeve but it didn't work, still gaining weight, never lost any weight, plus bad acid reflux and dr said I probably have hernia.
going in on Sept. 25 the to be checked & get bypass done! Can't wait!!

That pain was so awful! I feel so bad for you! If it's not better by now call your doc. There is no reason for you to be in that pain for so long.
