Hello! I'm one week post op. I realize that isn't that long and so this is all likely normal, but I'm nervous and started to go crazy worrying if it's not. I did fine in the hospital, but ever since I've been home I've had diarrhea. I wake up with it and a stomach ache every morning. It will hit me out of no where when I have or haven't eaten. And almost everything I eat makes me sick. I've backed off all milk products for the past 3 days and I thought that helped, but I still feel terrible and I'm scared to eat, because I'm scared to make myself feel worse. I'm getting about half my water in, and all of my vitamins. How long does this usually last? Is it normal? Should I be concerned? Thank you so much.

Hi! Is anyone documenting their journey on Instagram or through a blog? At the beginning of making my WLS decision. I would love to follow along on your journey!

Thank you @! So exciting! Good to hear an example timeline.

Hello! I'm brand new here. Considering WLS-Gastric Sleeve. I've been overweight my whole life, dieting since I was 6, and currently have a BMI of 55 with essentially no comorbidities, other than the general difficulties of being overweight. My question is... How long do you have to wait between a csection and gastric sleeve surgery? This is our fourth and final and I've never been able to breastfeed, so that's not a concern. Has anyone done the surgery soon after having a baby? Or know someone who is? I know there are pros to waiting a good amount of time, but I want to start this journey as soon as possible. I'm ready to be healthy. I've seen that some surgeons say as early as 6-8 weeks post partum. Thanks so much for your time!!
