Supermama-I too was banded on 9/21. I have major port pain, and am having sharp pains in that area when I breathe. I go to the doc tomorrow at 11:15. I had the opposite problem from diarrhea and that wasn't fun either!

I planned on being back at work today, but won't be going until Thursday at the earliest.

I hope you are doing well.

Chocolatesnaps - I totally know your feelings. I hope that you had a great surgery and up walking walking walking to get those gas pains out! Update us as soon as you can with your progress!

Wow supermomof4 - I am sorry to hear that you aren't feeling that great. Gas pain is only gone by walking, I hated every minute of it, but the more I walked the better I felt. The diarrhea on the other hand, I have no solution for. Have you tried to call your drs office?

Time4me - please let us know how your dr appt went. I hope it all goes well. I too had the problems breathing and sharp pains. It was gas for me. Hopefully it will be the same for you. Good luck and let us know as soon as possible!

Hi Time4me I am sorry you are not feeling well. I hope the dr. has a solution for you. As for my diarrhea my dr instructed me to take Benefiber and it seems to have done the trick. yeahh!!! and my gas pain is finally gone too!! The dr. thinks my diarrhea was due to the antibiotics that were given in the hospital? Well I hope you are feeling better soon!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
