So glad to hear that your surgery went well!:crying: I also have Fibromyalgia, and my doctor gave me the same advice. My surgery will be on April 13th. I am a little worried that surgery might cause me to have a "flare", but I am encouraged to hear how well you have done. Please continue to give updates on your recovery.

Take care!

Hi All,

I've begun to experience sharp pains on the right side under my rib cage. It feels similar to what one would experience after running. Is this still the gas?

Thanks!

Try to stretch your arms out above your head and also do walk as much as you can. If it's gas it should release. Hope you feel better shortly.

Sounds like gas to me. Welcome to the Loser's Bench. I too opted to come home after one night. I was so much more comfortable here at home. My son came home from NY for days 4-6 with me. It was quite funny... the olympics were on TV and I took up passing gas as my olympic sport. It was great the day I won the gold medal! :)

Istarted running a fever and my pulse spiked at 165 so I decided I better get checked out by the doc. Turns out that I have an intestinal c dif infection and am being admitted to the hospital for fluids and antibiotics. The sleeve site is in good shape but it is scary having an infection so close!

Hugapug I'm sending you a BIG HUG! Get well soon.

My daughter had c-dif after the birth of her baby. She couldn't breast feed because of the antibiotics.

Hugapug, sorry to hear this. I'm so glad you got checked and it was found early on. Praying for you to have a speedy recovery.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
