Oh no!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Looks like I might be in the clear. They are thinking it's an allergic reaction to the bonding stuff they use.

Sleeved on Valentines Day. Came home from hospital on day 4. Stepped on scale to monitor progress...I was up 14 pounds after being down by 27 on day of surgery! What the heck...? Today I was down 5 of the 14. I had IV's while in the hospital and could understand a little Water weight gain, but 14 pounds? Anyone have a similar experience or any answers?

I gained 18 lbs in Fluid weight while in the hospital--but it came off pretty quickly--about a week. The next week I lost about 10 lbs. So my 2-week net loss was only 10 lbs, lower than others, but the fluid definitely puts you behind. I'm not sure why some people retain that much fluid and others don't. BTW most of my fluid was lost from diarrhea... it wasn't too bad, though it was good that I was at home.

The pain pills are killing me. Anyone taking children's tylenol?

I am occasionally. I started with liquid but its so thick it just about made me puke. Then switched to the chewables and they are much better but you have to take like 4-5 of them.

Are you on pills? My pain medicine is in liquid form

I'm on dilaudid pills. They are tiny. But I don't hurt enough for them. Need just plain Tylenol. My husband made me think I should just stick to orders.

I was told not to use neosporin. I was sleeved on the 15th. The itching is the worst. Anyone still having the has pains? I am using the gas x thin strips, but when will it go away?

      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.
