How did you find the graph for your weightloss that you have when you respond? I couldn’t figure out how to load it onto my file.

Go to Account
then Profile, then MySurgery, then Trackers.

Yes, I called about it this morning, and if I do not get COVID, I can get my ablation Jan. 22. I’m just a bit down in the dumps about having to put up with this pain especially at bedtime and all night long. I can’t get comfortable no matter what position I’m in.

We’re you scheduled for Dec 30 and it was moved?

It was changed to Jan. 22 ......almost a month later! I was originally supposed to have it BEFORE my WLS, but I was afraid Medicare might not cover both surgeries so close together, and WLS seemed more important to me, thinking as I started losing weight it might take pressure off those nerves, but it hasn’t. In fact it actually seems worse......

I must have a different iPad, or iPhone? Version, cuz I get to mysurgery and there is only 2 categories with it, and trackers isn’t one of them. Maybe I am using a different system, being Apple it’s IOS . I even tried it on my iPhone, both by the website, and the BariatricPal app. Neither has the tracker. But thanks for giving me that info. Maybe I need to go on the main computer to get it.

It’s a nerve burn in my back that will stop the pain in my lower back and down my legs, on both sides, although my left side is worse than the right. I haven’t asked about pain meds yet. I still have some Tylenol with codeine left from my gastric bypass I’ve been hanging on to . I had been on Celebrex before my GP, but had to go off because of it being an NSAID. So my lower back nerves have really gotten agitated in the last 2 months. Thank you for asking. I afraid they won’t give it to me if I ask for something stronger. I’m taking cyclobenzaprine but it only makes me tired and doesn’t help with the pain.

That is so annoying! Nerve pain is the worst! My goes down my legs. I take 10-325 Percocet every 5.5 hours or I wouldn’t survive. Can you see a pain specialist? My GP won’t prescribe either. I’m so sorry!!

Our government at its finest!! I’m so sorry you have to wait! I get so angry when they let people be in pain because some people abuse drugs! Hoping you get relief!

I have an iPhone as well but yes, I find I can only change my weight on the computer and not on my phone? I did all the setup and tracker on the computer so yes, you are right! There must be a way but I can’t figure it out either!!

The pain dr. is who I’m waiting for my ablation(nerve burn) from on January 22nd. I’m hoping he will give me Percocet as well, but drs. Are afraid of getting sued these days for making addicts of us all. I had some OLD pills that were 30-325, and some that were 5-325. I had the stronger ones left from kidney stones. I’m gonna call today. I took one 5-325 along with another 325 Tylenol last night and it was the first I had ANY RELIEF FOR AGES.

Hey everyone! Survived the holiday, my first stall and down 32 lbs this morning. 6 weeks post op and started exercising this week. hair shedding started right away and finally slowed a bit this week. Not noticeable unless you see my bathroom shower wall afterwards 😂. How is everyone doing?? Steamed green Beans & sautéed mushrooms have been a favorite recently.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
