Hello all. I was sleeved on march 25th. So I'm almost 3 weeks out? Has anybody experienced a sharp pain in their right side. Mine kinda lingers daily then when I get more active like bending over or standing up it really hurts! I remember my dr saying there's a deep stitch. It's somewhat near my larger incision where my stomach was taken out. Other than that im doing pretty good.Any thoughts??? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I say go for it! Sent from my iPhone using VST

My requirements were pretty much the same. I had two Nutritionist visits and a phsyc eval. And the only pre-testing was blood work a week before my surgery that's it. I have united healthcare. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm right where your at. I was sleeved march 25th. I'm down just about 60lbs and from a size 22 to a 16. How's your skin looking? I hate my arms. Ugh! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Funny someone brought this subject up. I just told my husband last night it looks like I'm melting. I'll be 4 months out on the 25th. Lost about 55lbs. My face is ok it's my arms. Ugh! Their awful :-/ Sent from my iPhone using VST

Congrats! I got 19lbs to go. I got into a size 16 jeans today! Yea for us Sent from my iPhone using VST

Well I know there's the dreaded 3 week stall. Dont get discouraged. Think of it this way there's no way you can't loose weight with the amount of food we eat. I remember my Dr telling me that your body will try and hold on to the weight because it thinks its starving. But it can only hold on to it for so long. I would also try taking maybe milk of magnesia to help you with the #2 problem. I'm almost 4 mounts out and don't go to the bathroom very much also. Good luck to you! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ok so I was sleeved on march 25th I'm down 55lbs or so. Don't get me wrong I'm totally happy with my results so far but I absolutely hate my arms!! The hanging skin..flab.. What ever it is is driving me nuts. I can even deal with my sagging stomach for now I guess cause I can't see it. But my arms... Does anybody have any suggestions other than surgery down the road to tighten them up? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Yep that's what I had too. It will go away eventually. Hang in there Sent from my iPhone using VST

I pretty much eat whatever I want and am losing weight. I only eat a couple bites thank goodness but I can't stand to drink the Protein shakes. I was sleeved march 25 and am down 55lbs. Sent from my iPhone using VST

The only stitches I had was one that kept my drain in place. I'd just cut them if you can with some nail clippers. Just a thought good luck Sent from my iPhone using VST

Sounds like dumping syndrome Sent from my iPhone using VST

I stalled at 3weeks also. I think a lot of people do. It's your body's way of trying to hang on. But eventually it will let go of the weight. Don't stress just keep moving forwards Sent from my iPhone using VST

Don't worry it doesn't hurt at all. Just feels weird. You'll be so happy when it's gone. Sent from my iPhone using VST

For me I can take maybe 3-4 bites of say a sandwich and I'm full. Sometimes it feels like the food is in my throat. Not really a sick feeling maybe like pressure but up higher in your stomach. Then I start burping and the food slowly starts to go down. Might be cause I ate too fast or didn't chew it well enough. But it eventually goes down Sent from my iPhone using VST
