You might want to call your doc and get in to see him/her Hun. At three weeks out you should be almost back to normal and it sounds like you are still having a lot of issues. Three weeks out or so I was lying on an operating table having a leak repaired. I had the surgery and never got better. You don't have leak symptoms but id still get a checkup with your surgeon.

I wonder if what you are experiencing is a spasm. It feels constricting and like something is tying your stomach in to a knot. I had that the first two weeks after surgery. It does go away but it is painful enough that I would vomit. Anything I would drink or eat would put me in to a spasm. Sometimes acid blockers would help. But if you feel like it is something serious you should definitely contact your doctor. I am sorry you are going through this- it's miserable. I hope you get over it soon!!!!!

Please call your doctor. That's the only way to find out what is happening.

Call your doc. If I recall you posted about dehydration, didn't go in when the consensus was go in for fluids and ended up passing out and hitting your head. This is not something to mess around with. Listen to your body. There are lots of possibilities - just call or go in this time. I'm not trying to sound harsh, but you can really put yourself at risk if you don't seek the advice of a doctor - we are poor substitutes ultimately for a real medical opinion.

Yup I had the spasms pretty bad right after surgery up to a good week after surgery. They are "owie". Hope yours subside very soon! All the best!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
