Recommended Posts

Hi ~ This is my first time to post.

I was banded on Nov 29, 07. My only complaint is my mouth has been broken out for about 2 1/2 weeks. My lips are swollen and red also inside my mouth are a few small blisters. I thought maybe an allergic reaction to the fruit juices, so I stopped that. Maybe the vitamins.... stopped them. No change... maybe yeast? I'm trying the over the counter capsules for that now. I crush a zoloft and celebrex and mix with yogurt. These aren't fever blisters either. Any more ideas what could be happening??? Of course, "It's the holidays", is my only excuse for not going to the Dr yet.. Any suggestions or advice? I don't want to be seen :think ~~ Thank you !

I am a dental hygienist and need more info. How long has this been happening. Steady or on and off. Have you tried Benadryl? Burning, itching? Dont discount the herpes virus yet. Just the lips or mouth too. besides your band ANYTHING else new.

Might be thrush or Hand foot and mouth disease (Not really a disease just a virus ) . But it sounds like you need to be seen . It really sounds more like Hand Foot and mouth . Its VERY contagious so be very careful around others. You need to go in and be seen if that is what it is to verify .

Check your hands and feet to see if you have any little blisters on them

Sometimes they show up there sometimes they do not .

I would get to the doc !

Hand, foot and mouth will rarely isolate to just lips. Is it further in your mouth??

She said " My lips are swollen and red also inside my mouth are a few small blisters" Also "rarely " does not mean it wont.

My son had it so badly he was hospitalized for 4 days , he was so combatant no one bothered to look into his mouth , he had sores all the way down his esophagus. by the time they released him we ALL had it . My best friends family , her DD got it just a few blisters on her lips , her husband got it much worse, lips , mouth , down his throat, Her older daughter just on her lips.

Margie , have you gotten it checked out yet ?

I was also baned on the 19 and I had that same experience. I just continued taking the pain medication they gave me from the hospital, and for the most part it is gone. Where are you from I am from Houston. I hope my reply helps. Take Care!

I was banded on 12/21 My doctor's office said that pain in the shoulder after this surgery is usually trapped gas from the inflating of your stomache. If you walk it helps move the air out. Also they suggested chewable gas-ex pills. I cut hair for a living and went back to work 12/26. I raise my arms all day and am on my feet. I feel pretty great other than a little soarness in the port area.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
