Hello I was revised from band to bypass on 10/9/13 .I couldn't pass gas on the 3Rd day and was in pain so my doctor did another surgery instead of a CT scan . He didn't find anything so on the 3Rd day from that surgery I had the same pains and requested for them to see if I had a bowel restriction. They did a CT scan and saw I did then my doctor did a third surgery and that time he cut me from above my belly button to about a half of foot. I been in the hospital almost two weeks then came out then back in. I'm healing slowly now with a wound vac because they sent me home with an infection. My journey has been hard . I just pray this whole ordeal is almost over. I've been through so much I didn't expect.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
