This really sucks, I was just diagnosed with gastroparesis. They put me on Regalan but I am still throwing up after every meal, and I cannot eat much to begin with. I have lost 13 lbs this month alone. Im so upset. Anyone else have this problem?

I just had to look it up. What caused it? What were/are your symptoms?

ok, I looked it up. Sounds like the your doctors-f**ked up. My opinion. But knocking Lap Band is still wrong. My cousin had by-pass over 25 years ago and the doctor screwed up and no one was on her side but everyone knew that doctor slipped with the knife. Her daughter, a RN, had the same surgery. That did not stop her. Except she is fat again because she eats and drinks, wine, a cocktail when out and large portions. Her fault, no one else. Things happen. My husband always says, doctors practice medicine. Well they practiced and did something wrong, it seems. Sorry to hear that.

For over a month now I could not keep anything down, it is different than being stuck. I was throwing everything up. Lost 14 lbs in 1 month. Had sever stomach cramps too.

Thank you, Im a definetly not knocking the lap band. I did a lot of research, and unfortunatly this does happen sometimes to lap band patients. nothing to do with the doctor, just an unfortunate side effedect but I didnt see anything in my post about knocking it?

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
