Hope it all turns out okay with the surgery and tests. I didnt start exercising until 4 months out. Your body will lose the,weight at its own pace no matter what you do.

Still in pain and can't eat I have to wait until Apr.2 for them to go in and see if i have a stricture,so only pain meds and liquids until then.

I've started therapy for postpartum depression and my eating habits and today i had a real eye opener cause the dr thinks i might have a restriction or possible leak so im undergoing the procedure to check and see' date='its outpatient.[/quote']

How did they come to that conclusion?

He said due to the stomach pain,not being able to swallow or keep things down,it sounds like a restriction but they'll know more when they go in. To be honest I really think I've chosen the wrong surgeon i didn't attend any classes.I had one psych appt,one nutritionist appt and within less than a month I was approv for surgery,I guess you get what you pay for and im paying now!!!

Do not see it that way.. I too did everything quick and also one visit for everything. It depends on ur body, and how you heal. I know everything is going to be ok for u. It happens..

Its more likely that your poych is swollen and angry due to eating outside of recommended guidelnes early on. Hopefully thats,all it is. If they thought you had a leak I would think they would do surgery right away. Thats deadly

I couldn't eat or drink and doctor said is was not a structure because I wast vomiting. He did scope for precaution and I had muscle spasms. I had to take some meds and it got better over time. My process for surgery was super quick and easy too. But the support groups are very helpful an it increases your success rate.

What are your symptoms of why they think I have a stricture or leak?

For me one day I can't get no fluids in, then the next day I do ok. I have a lot of pain on the lower and upper left side. I have a lot of tightness and pressure in my chest. I'm one week post op.

Good luck to you. I completely understand tyke emotions.

If it is due to me eating outside my guidelines I've truly learned my lesson,I pray it's nothing.

Good luck....be honest with your MD so he may treat and fix what might me going on. I Hope it's minor.

I have been that's why im attending therapy cause I know my eating addiction is attached to unresolved emotions that i must get to the root of for this surgery to be successful.
