Did any have this pain or that pain......have a stall at 1 week.....or gas or throw up, or can't feel any restriction, or have regrets......etc etc etc.....

Yep......someone did......all those things. Many, many times. It's probably safe to say you can eliminate the preface "Did anyone else?".

Just start in with what you want advice, guidance or help or support with.

Now before you all start biting my head off as being insensitive or worse.....This is just a light hearted, feel good, kidding around thread.

I just chuckle under my breath when I read a Thread that wonders if anyone else experienced similar issues or events.

The point is......to those who are worried and think they are alone or undergoing some strange "never heard of issue'......Relax..... It's all here

and somebody will help. There is comfort in numbers. You don't need to work yourself into an anxiety panic thinking things are going wrong. Someone here will help you. And you're as normal as everyone else.

Do a search or just fire away and say what's on your mind. And relax....... Did Anyone???? Yep, Many many many.....just like you. ;)

7 weeks out and pulse is down to low 50s and am fatigued and dizzy. BP is fine, getting in my Protein and Water and Vitamins so any thoughts on this one? (I'm waiting for the doctor to call with results from blood tests and 24 hour heart monitor test).

Something medically specific that concerns you like the dizziness and low pulse is certainly something that needs your doctors feedback. You did the right thing there.

That being said, I had pain issues after my sleeve that closely mimicked pains I experienced when having a heart attack a while back and it worried me too. I contacted my Doc and he was able to assure me it was all normal and would soon go away. Hopefully, that will be the case with you. Try to relax.

Sometimes I'm tempted to answer 'nope, can't say I've read about anyone ever experienced _____ (fill in the blank), are you sure you had ____ surgery?' Just to mess with folks... But I know that would lead down a very dark, bottomless rabbit hole.... So I play nice.

Just to make things more fun I am flying to Europe tomorrow for work and will be there for a week and a half! So here's hoping that whatever it is resolves itself!

OK, @@Recycled , how about this one?....

"Did anyone else ever have to take a dump in a kitty litter box at work because they didn't have enough time to get to the bathroom?"...... I've searched and searched and can't find anyone else who shares this experience. I feel so alone ;)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
