I have fibromyalgia..and had the surgery on Nov. 8th 2016..Im going to be honest I've been in fibro pain 3 days ago due to weather..my back is starting to hurt little more..my surgeon told me that the weight loss was going to help but not cure the fibro..I guess it depends on how severe is..Good luck to your friend..

I have fibro myalgia and osteoarthritis and was sleeved Nov 7, 2016. The flare of intense pain that had been going from ankle to calf for 3 months prior to op, has since dissipated to a dull ache when I've been on my feet for a while. I got the sleeve done hoping to make a difference to my symptoms. There is a Facebook page called 'Fibro myalgia Talk' and I remember seeing someone post about their experiences with the sleeve and weight loss.

How are you doing? I have the same conditions I'm in the process for the surgery but my RA and fibromyalgia are killing me.

I had 3 days of fibromyalgia pain as well due to weather change and my mood dropped. I'm not gonna say it's easy. I'm 5 weeks out and it's been tough.

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

      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! 😞
