Ooof. I am in so much pain on my right side. No where else, just there. I'm also getting horrible headaches but only when I sleep. Drinking as much as I can so I'm pretty sure it's not dehydration. Any thoughts?

Having had terrible complications my dear...I'm going to give you the annoying and OH SO RIGHT answer of "CALL YOUR DOCTOR". Don't wait for someone here to say it's ok or not ok. That's not normal, not something you were told to expect, so call your doctor. Complications of this surgery are life threatening and should not wait for some dork like me on the internet to answer you! (And I say that with love in my heart because I never want anyone to experience the hell of complications of this surgery as I did)

The same thing happened to me, my head ached only when I slept. I thought it was because of all the medication so I wouldn't take anymore......which was a bad idea because I started dry heaving and it made my headache worse so I took the pain meds my surgeon gave me and I forced myself to drink more and the next day I felt so much better. I actually travelled 12 hours to get home and never looked back. I hope this helps.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
