Need An Opinion. I Could Be Psyching Myself Out.



Recommended Posts

As of today, I am 5 weeks out and officially in a stall. I've had a very easy time of it so far, except for the past 2 days. I feel like I have restriction now and even drinking Water hurts a little.

No vomiting, a little bit of nausea, no severe pains, but my tummy does have a dull ache that doesn't seem to go away. No trouble breathing. I also feel bloated. I know I should be starting my period, but it hasn't happened yet. I've been passing gas just fine, but right before I do pass gas, it builds up and hurts for a bit.

However, I have been driving my hubby's car which has NO power steering and is a stick shift.

I don't know if this is normal and I'm just psyching myself out or something else. LOL!

Do you still have a gallbladder? It sounds a little like gallbladder inflammation. Maybe give your doc a call and see if you can get an ultrasound.

I do still have my gall bladder. I didn't even think of that.

I haven't had my period since 2010 (endometrial ablation) and I just has the worst period and pain for the past couple of days. I am set for an ultrasound next week and had a pelvic exam today. Get checked out.

So this morning I emailed my surgeon the above info.

He responded:

Hi Tiffani

I don't think it's a leak. You may retain Fluid before periods and that causes tissues swelling and ur sleeve may get somewhat more narrow. Continue meds and let's talk in a week or two if these signs persist."

That eases my mind a little bit, but I will say nothing has been getting worse, it's just saying the same and when I take tylenol, the pain goes away. My hubby thinks I pulled a muscle, but it seriously is just my tummy hurting, nothing else.

So that's the update for now.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
