I had my sleeve Dec. 20th. I have lost 25lbs. I have stalled this last week. I have been having a lot of pain. I feel like I have a band of pain around me just under my rib cage. It hurts to breath in an out. My doctor suggested I was constipated which I have been and to take Milk of Magnesia. My stomach had been bloated and even my intestines hurt. I am running a fever about 100 degrees which I take tylenol for an it breaks, I am having bad back pain and feel nausia all the time. It hurt to eat and not eat. I am very scared. My doctor 's nurse was not happy that I had not lost 25lbs instead of 30lbs., I am so depressed does it get better. I just read the info you all posted on Splenda and so I think I will stop using that. I am still stuggling with any food. I have bad food allergies so no milk, no sea food, no oats, no chicken. I can stand a little Peanut Butter on a wheat cracker but everything hurts. I an on soy protien and soy milk an I can barely swallow them. I can eat some cream of wheat . All food make me nausiais. I can['t stand the smell even. Everything tastes too strong. I am worried about the fevers it s been going on over a week now and the pain in my abdoman goes up and down in my sides. I don't know what to do, I am probably doing something wrong but what?

If you still have pain and a fever I would call your doctor or go to the emergency ASAP. It could be a leak, I don't want to scare you but I think you should get seen by somebody. Don't worry about the weightloss for now, that will come, just make sure you find out what's going on inside, and keep us posted, good luck!

You need to get them to do an upper GI on you to confirm one way or the other.

Yes, INSIST that your doctor do a full workup on you. None of this is normal, and you need your doctor to properly diagnose what is going on. And frankly, shame on him for not insisting you come in right away!! I'm sorry you are going through this, and I hope it gets better soon!

      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!!
