Yes please let us know, too many with ulcers after this surgery , it's not mentioned in the things that can develop after and I really want to say something to my surgeon on my follow up visit

I am having the worse time getting out of the 150's. I bounce between 150 and 152. I think I am obsessed with the numbers, because I am currently wearing between a 4 and 6 and that is ok for me.

I asked my surgeon this many times as I had pre-cancerous erosions in my esophagus from reflux prior to surgery. He told me that it was one of the rarest but most stubborn post-op complications. He said that some people still have significant acid production that can reflux up through the Y and cause an ulcer at the point of the anastamosis between the pouch and the small intestines. Risk factors that can increase this are alcohol, smoking, NSAIDS or eating inappropriate foods all of which I had none of. It seems as if it boiled down to bad luck for me. I am still pretty weak and seem to have a great deal of pain after eating but I am hoping for more strength each day. My physician told me that 90% of them disappear on their own and only about 10% need surgical intervention. I am praying that I am in the 90%. I will keep you all informed. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and prayers.

I went from a 38DD, to about a 34 B or C. At least I have way more bra options! I lost my butt as well, but I am just glad to be able to shop almost anywhere.

I am so curious to know how I weigh 150lbs, yet wear a 4 or 6 at the most. I am not tall at 5'4". This doesn't seem to be the norm.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
