I was sleeved last Monday 5/5 and I know it's still early on but I have horrible pain by my right ribs. Has anyone experienced this? Maybe it's just where the stomach was cut? Ty

besides the pain in your ribs (which i'm not minimizing)

are other issues going well???

able to drink, are you vomitting??? bathroom issues???? gas????

we are here to support you/share similar medical issues/give advice :)

we're all smart here ;) (especially me :D :D ) but.......

always call listen to your doc/surgeon when you have any medical problem/issue

he's the one in the know :)

know many have had a hiatal hernia (not me)

that "might" be an attributing factor to your pain in the rib area

check with your doc

hurting when you laugh ???? knock it off!!!! :D

no more coughing allowed - suck it up!!! :D

deep breathing????

hmmmmmm, stop breathing :blink:

nawwwww, keep on keepin on :)

feel better

Seen my doc today my staples were taken out and I found out the pain I'm having is from my intestinal problem.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
