Ok. I am sorry this is happening to you. Please call your doctor right away or go to the ER. I have read through all your posts and it sounds like you really need help. Please. This is dangerous for you.

Or gallbladder, or appendix or a hernia, or Constipation. But I agree with other posters, go to the ER!

go talk to your on-call doctor or the place that did your surgery. better to err on the side of keeping the peace.

And you really do need to ponder what you can do to get your head in the game. I guarantee that string cheese or crackers are a LONG way out after surgery, no matter how much you want (or believe you) need them. I am not worried about the sleeve. I am worried about you. Please keep us posted.

Keep checking your temperature....when I had my leak my temperature soared to 104....Then I knew I was in trouble!

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

      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! 😞
