Hi. I'm 2 mos out and just started having stabbing shooting pains in my stomach just left of my center stomach... ??? Anyone else ever have this, this far out?
-
I took 3 weeks off. Went back to work, at a school, and caught a stomach virus. Ended up in the hospital and getting a 4th week off. Because of lack of energy, trying to eat right and getting in your fluids, which is demanding in itself, and the possibility of injury, take at least 2 weeks off.

Dee Jack, that's crazy good! I'm down 32lbs altogether. Been in that stall but I came out...What does your day look like, with food? Have you been cleared to exercise? @ shellybean, try getting more calories in. I noticed that when I ate more, I lost. I think our stalls last longer because we are in starvation mode. It's hard, I know. It'll happen though! :-)

I begged for a "bigger" stomach, didn't want one where is was too difficult to eat. He used a 40. I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and can't eat as much as friends who had the surgery in the same day using a 32, so I think it just depends on an individual basis, how the doctor shapes it, etc... I saw mine in a barium test, looks like its shaped like a kidney not a banana... ???

Would you have paid without insurance coverage?
slimjim41 replied to Houston17's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mexico seems to be a great option. I just received the "bill" that was supposedly paid by my insurance co. $73,000!!! WTH? Insurance and medical practices, this is why the system is so messed up... I wish you the best! -

Post op march sleevers
slimjim41 replied to gelen's_change's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Surgery on 3/19 wt 258 2 days ago I was at 236 for the past week I was in a stall but I got sick, thought it was my sleeve, pain nausea, throwing up and diarrhea... Was in the hospital for a night, took every test possible, barium, (NASTY) contrast CT, blood, stool, you name it. I was scared! But lo and behold, it was just a typical stomach virus. Probably caught from one of my students. :-/ Current weight, 230! Not the best way to get out of a stall... Everyone is doing well. Very happy for you all, slow or fast, you are moving in the right direction! -
3 weeks post op with nausea
slimjim41 replied to slimjim41's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been eating about 3-4 small meals, same foods... Maybe 1 was left out too long??? I've had 2 more BMI's and the last was like diarrhea. I STILL has terrible nausea. Even too nausea meds. Still no fever but its so bad I can't sleep. And I'm scared. -
I'm so scared. Went to bed tonight not feeling well. No temp. But I feel very nauseated. I had a BM, took anti acid and its still there. I'm 3 weeks post op and haven't had any other problems. Really worried. Has anyone else just pop up 3 weeks later with bad nausea?

How do you reconcile?
slimjim41 replied to BethinPA's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I plan on taking out a loan and getting the lifestyle lift. I'm only 3 weeks out and see it coming! "Gobble Gobble!" -
Yeah, I agree. Sounds like he was drunk and who here on this sight hasn't been? Yes, it was a little dumb on his part to send that video but he was intoxicated. Yes, he said, "The big girl." But it sounds, not mean, just a descriptor his friend would identify you with and you were. I say, if he is nice, fun, and he pursued you the WAY YOU WERE, and now thinks you are even hotter, and you liked him, give him a chance. If he repeats, "stupid" drunk again, then say "bye."

I know it's a weird question but my daughter is performing at Knott's Berry Farm this month. When we go, I will be exactly 1 month and 2 days post op. Does anyone know if we can ride roller coasters at 1 month out? Thanks for the input.
