Hi all thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Maybe some good news, the bariatric surgeon looked at the CT scan and.said it is a localized and contained leaked (what ever that means) but I won't have to do the surgery just.stay in the hospital for 4 o4 5 day being fed intravenous absolutely nothing.through the mouth to give the leak time.to heal.

Thinking of you. So relax for next 4 to 5 days. Prayers. Hope all works out. ????

Ello everyone!

I finally kicked the scale to the curb today.

I entered the three-week stall and just have been getting frustrated, so I'm now only weighing weekly instead! I should have known this stall was coming because there was a lot of hormones in my body because of my period! Hopefully this stall ends soooon, it's a little frustrating.

This is worst pain imaginable that I have ever felt and I thought gout was the worst. Lol. Imagine being over inflated like a basketball. Lol I asked can't you just insert a tube to release some pressure? They do it for the brain and the lungs why can't the do it for the abdomen.

I'm so sorry for your pain. I hope it passes soon ????????

I use it every meal, and no vomiting or discomfort because of it.

I've hit that same brick wall stall too ???? it's so hard not to weigh everyday. I'm doing every other day, that seems to take edge off. Before we know it it'll move down again lol ????????

So I'm 4 days post op now and sleeping on my back is getting really annoying... How long after surgery were you able to sleep on your side without much discomfort?

For me, I used a side pillow, and rest it up against my side supporting my stomach. Prob by where you are now, I was mostly side sleeping.
