Awww thanks frustr8. They girls have been checked and all is good. Think it's got more to do with loosing weight. And muscles having more movement then ever before. Hut I will make sure to talk to doc on Tuesday about it

Yes the girls have been checked and all is good.. [emoji2]

I cant say its muscle cramps with the weird place its happening on my boob. Lol it almost feels like a stab in the skin with a rip feeling going down from there about 3 or 4 inches.... yeah I know I am weird!

OmG will these random pains stop?? Now I have one in my left boob!!! Only acts up when I reach to pick something up and boy is it a shocker when it does it!!! UgH things I go threw to "LOoK pretty" lol

I also had the lap band before I got my sleeve... my doc has seen recently published research that the band should come out 8 to 10 weeks before you get the sleeve. From what I understood while taking the band out it gives the doc a chance to get all the scar tissue broke up and healed before having the surgery for the sleeve. Which is what I had done. He was excited after surgery to tell me I have a normal sized sleeve instead of being a little bigger due to the scar tissue. I have my 2 week check up on Oct 31 so I am sure I will be on letting everyone what the official weight loss is !

I just had my first BM on day 8. I was passing gas so I knew I wasn't constipated or impacted. I normally only go 1 time every 4 or 5 days anyways. U need to remember what exactly you are taking in. I know my diet right now isn't anything that my body need to get rid of right away. Mostly still liquids anyway.

I dont remember anything about being in the recovery room before I was sent to my actual room. I was given a push for pain meds. Any time I felt nauseous I told the nurse and they would give me a different type of med for it. I had a cath so no bathroom runs for me. But they did have me up that first day to walk. I was very weak so I only made it to the next room door and turned around and went back to the room. I was so sore that first night in the hospital I remember thinking what the hell did I do to myself. My stomach muscles hurt to bad. Especially they site they took the stomach out of. My first taste of any liquids was the next day when i had to drink barium to check for leaks.... Mmmmmm that was such tastey treat.... NOT!! Lol.. After that I was allowed clear liquids. As the day went on I was able to get the cath out and move more I still didnt do laps around the halls but I made it a little farther each time. I was relieved to be released around 6 PM the second day. I was just happy to be home where I could relax and do what I needed when I wanted to do it. I will go for my 2 week check up on the 31st of Oct so it will be my first official weighing in since surgery. I am curious to see what that scale will say. Over all I believe I was blessed in the way my recovery has gone!

I started this whole journey last Oct 2017 when I found out that my back issues and pain I have been in for over 20 years was found to be caused by the disappearance of a disk in my lower back along with my spine being very miss aligned. The orthopedic told me he wouldnt do surgery to fix my back until I lost 50 pounds and not to take to long to do it because he couldn't understand why I wasn't paralyzed already. I weighed in a 365 lbs then. In the process of doing all the hoop jumping for the insurance company for me to have the sleeve done I lost 35 lbs in a year. I just had my sleeve done on the 16 of October and have no clue what my weight is ringing in at, at this time, due to the fact I dont have a home scale that can handle my weight to begin with. I go back to the doc the 31 for my 2 week check up and am curious to see how much I have lost. I know I have lost some but not knowing the amounts is driving me nuts right now. All I can say is my pants are getting looser and I might need a belt soon to keep them up [emoji16] I love the fact that this thread is started I am over 40 years old (44 to be exact), and over 300 lbs. I know reading others stories and success helps me know I can do this and I am not the only one who has had to go threw it all.

I am 44 and just got the sleeve 1 week ago today. I am so excited about what is to come.

You look marvelous... with our without the wig! Keep your head up!

I have not made it to soft foods yet but my doc suggested deli Turkey or chicken as a soft.. and dont forget cottage cheese

See this is why I am not a doctor. I dont thibk outside the box. Lol who knows. I am just glad I am not the only one that has random unexplained pains

I am not sure how much weight I have lost since I am only on day 6 after surgery. I am just praying that it's not the start of shingles from all the stress of the operation. But you do give me another reason and that it could be a possibility of something else. Which is a relief!! Thanks for a possible explanation!

I took wore my comfy PJs and slippers to the hospital and that's how I also came home. I did miss my favorite blanket tho (yes I have a whooby. Lol)

I did look in the topic list and didnt see anything that would come close to this topic if I did miss it I am sorry... I just had my surgery on the 16 of oct and have been having weird pains in random places such as hip, rump, back of the upper arm. It feels as if I am pulling a small section of the muscle off the bone or tearing of the muscle. Any one else having this type of issues and have you figured out how to fix it?
