I have a question I'm three and a half weeks. And I still tend to have a pain on my right side kind of by my ribs I'm assuming it's from the bigger incision but I never hear of anybody complaining about pain still at this point I seen my doctor Friday yeah this is getting better and I said yes and he said ok it will go away but it's frustrating because it's hard for me to work out or do anything because it'll start giving me pain I don't know if my muscle heals wrong or what does anybody else have this issue

Hi I am 5'1 I started at my highest weight at 211 with diet and exercise and phentermine got down to a good 145 but seemed to gain real easy and kept yo yo-ing after a knee injury and went all the way up to 178....so determined not to gain anymore I knew I couldn't do it with just diet alone and maintain without the sleeve so will be getting it done Oct 13th. So I am hoping this will work.

I'm a bit nervous my rep mention that I'm probably the most petite patient they've ever had. I'm already a complicated case because I was born with my intestines on the outside so I have multiple adhesions or scar tissue in my abdominal cavity

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
