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!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
