Hi everyone. I had made a new thread but I'm okay. They thought I had a blood clot in my lung, but they didn't see anything. I go back to see my surgeon tomorrow. Thanks for your support guys!

I'm 3 weeks post banding and had a terrible pain in my left side with a deep breath, cough, sneeze, hick-up, you get the idea. When I saw the aprn for my post op she said to call in a week if I still had the pain. Well, I called last Friday, and boy did things happen fast! stat CAT scan, blood work, and the long and the short of it is that they don't know what is causing it but the DO know what isn't- and that is almost as good. they think it is just some weird post op pain, but no clot, slippage, inflamation, etc. Medicine is not all knowing, but I like knowing that the 'bad' things have all been ruled out. It sounds like you're in the same boat.

That sounds excactly like what happened. I called and I was told to get to the hospital ASAP. Still don't know what's wrong but like you said they know what it isn't so I guess that's good. They were freakin me out!!! Hope you feel better!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
