I was cleaning and i picked up something and went to put it on the floor. As i sat it down i heard popping noises from my stomach. immediately following i had the craziest urge to use the bathroom. and omg it was the most horrible thing i smelled before. now i am light headed and nauseous. Should i be worried. I called the doc and i am waiting for a call back. Has this happened to anyone before.

Thank you everyone. So am I. Thursday is my second check up. the first week 10 days was 35 pounds down and since then i am only down by another 5 which I am not mad about 40 pounds is great to me in a months time. I may hit a stall like a lot of people do. I am prepared for it.

it was a Blockage of poop. (embarrassing) and when I bent over It moved lol. and they said the Light headedness and nausea was just coincidental. But I feel ok thank you guys. I was worried I popped the incisions. Breathing easier

I'm Having Mixed Feelings About Bariatric Surgery
chigga77 replied to nydiva's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on 01-30-2012. It took me along time to commit to this. Unlike some I am 34 married no children. I had four failed pregnancies. High blood pressure, diabetes, a half functioning heart and a list of other issues. I tried everything. They would work in the beginning and then they would stop working. I realized that my life was important to me and if I ever wanted to have children I needed to have a life altering change. This was my last result and I do not regret it. It is very hard and I was a little mad at myself after the surgery. But I do not regret my decision and I would say Research research and research. Everyone recovers and loses differetly but having your own knowledge and seeing different people experiences helps alot. I did a lot of research, even down to watching the videos on how the procedure is done. hopes this helps -

First Follow Up Appointment..was Great!
chigga77 replied to chigga77's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thank you guys . I was shocked at those numbers, my Doc said it may slow up a bit due to a fast lost in 10 days. I do not watch the scale, that would drive me nuts. But for my health I am more excited about that more than anything else. I don't go back for two weeks, but I start my puree on Monday I am way nervous about that. I am afraid my blood sugar levels will rise. Wish me luck -

Omg Got Sleeved Monday An I Am In So Much Pain
chigga77 replied to chigga77's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes finally the gas has subsided. I have been walking and walking and walking. I am still tender but i feel alot better. Being that I am diabetic I get nervous when I do not eat, but my sugar has been normal. So the protein shakes was replaced with the gluceria shakes and I am surprised I am able to tolerate it. But it helps keeps your blood sugar level. Although I do feel week if I walk a long periods of time, I am starting to like my sleeve. -
