For me, around week 8, I started loosing more again about five a week and had been loosing about two the weeks leading up to it. It lasted about three weeks then slowly went back down to about two. It happened again at five months out. I am six months out now it seems to be going back down to 1 to 2 a week. I think our hormones play into it and like everyone says, everyone is different. If you are worried, it would not hurt to call your doctor.

I had horrible GERD/ acid reflux for years. During my EGD a moderate hiatal hernia was identified, But my surgeon said he would repair it during the sleeve surgery, which he did. Ever since the surgery I no longer have GERD/acid reflux. I know everybody is different but fixing the hernia worked for me.

My feet and upper torso itched like crazy. My surgeon said it could possibly be a reaction to anesthesia and if so, should go away as the anesthesia works it's way out of my body. After about two weeks it went away, so I just assumed that was it.

I was sleeved and had hiatal hernia repair on Thursday, 01/14/21 too, but my procedure did not take place until 6:30pm. It was supposed to be at 4:00 p.m. but my surgeon was running behind. It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be, granted I was dopped up. I did have gas pain in my left shoulder and back, but as long as I didn't move too much it didn't hurt to bad. It was gone less than two days later. I had had no pain medicines for about an hour and a half when I left the hospital to go home and I was starting to feel a little uncomfortable then. I only took the liquid codiene that I was prescribed once the day I went home and didn't need it again. I also walked soon after getting to my room, which I think greatly helps with the gas pain. I got to my room about 10:00 pm and was walking around midnight. my whole stay at the hospital was less than 24 hours. I was there a total of 21 hours, from 2pm to 11am. This concerned me at first but I've been doing great at home. No pain at all except tender in my incision sites. Still working on getting my liquids in on did 58 oz yesterday. Started full liquids today doing Protein Shake I've finished one so far.

Good luck to everybody that has surgery ahead of them.

I am only 50, but I have the same surgery date as you, January 14th and am on the pre-op diet. So I thought I would send positive vibes and say good luck!!
