Don't know whether to be worried or not, but just not feeling too well today. A little nausea and lower left side abdominal pain and burning. Anyone else experienced this? I am 4 weeks post op and have had no problems at all until today.

I'm also 4 weeks out and everything gives me awful heartburn and I have been feeling horrible. The only thing that doesn't bother me is s.f. popsicles. I'm about to call my Dr.

Oh no! Hope you feel better! I just talked to my surgeon and he said to avoid all milk and milk products as well as anything sugar free and just go to broth and things like chicken Soup. Oh and of course stay hydrated. He said if it worsens to go to the ER, but I am nowhere near that bad.

Always call your doc if it is painful and burning. I am 8 months out and have heard of others have this. Just be safe and call your doc. If really painful go to er.

Any burning type pain around an incision this far out is nerves healing and coming back to life. And my doc said that you can have pain around your large incision for up to 6 months. Uggg.

I'm 4 weeks today. I don't know if you noticed but right after surgery, the bottom left portion of the stomach is numb. Now it's not so numb. My side is just starting to feel better since I pulled the muscle in week 2. It will get better :)

The doc put me back on liquids only and I'm being sent for an upper GI tomorrow. And also told me to start taking my nausea and spasm meds and that seemed to help a bit.

What spasm meds do you take?

I feel much better today! I really believe it was the milk I made my Protein Shake with for Breakfast. I felt completely better by 4:00. My doc felt it was the milk too. Thank you all for all your support!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
