I'm 23 and I was just sleeved on July 30th. I'm doing pretty well except for the aches and pains that were expected to come along with it!

Wow! Good for you on your success!!

Do they know what caused those things? Right now I'm just getting sharp pains everytime I take a deep breaths. Hoping that it'll go away or I'm going to go my PCP tomorrow. I've lost 9 lbs since my surgery!

They are not sure but I would follow up with the surgeon that you used.

I did and he doesn't think it's a leak because I don't have a fever and I'm tolerating my diet ok. But if the pain persists I'm going there tomorrow and I'm going there tomorrow to see what's going on

Me either so far, tomorrow will be my two week mark and so far I've already lost 13 lbs! I lost 54 before surgery as well, I'm psyched and I only have a few more days left of the shakes before I can finally start eating some real food!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
