I was sleeved about 3.5 years ago. Never really had any complications. Now all of a sudden I sometimes get cramping and back pain within a few hours of eating. Not everyday and not every time I eat something. Could this be from my sleeve? Or something completely unrelated?

Complications 3.5 years out?

Not my gallbladder. Spoke with primary, surgeon, and GI DR. Looking at other possibilities. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

I don't recall seeking medical advice. I recall asking a question about weight loss surgery on a weight loss surgery forum. Thanks to all who answered! -

Complications 3.5 years out?

I do still have my gall bladder. Planning on contacting them when they are in the office. Just curious if anyone ever heard of complications this long after surgery. -
I've lost over 150 lbs. I started out losing 3lbs/week. After a while it went down to one. I can eat a lot more than before. Over the holidays I have gone up and down. Kind of stalled. Thinking I need more protein

Over 400Lbs Gastric Sleeve Success Story
cartmansnj replied to jasminem89's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Almost 9 months out. I hit 150lbs lost today!! It is getting much harder. Had lost some weight every week until a few weeks ago when I gained two pounds. Did not get discouraged and kept working at it. Lost 3 lbs last week and one this week to get me to the 150. -
That depends on who you ask. My surgeon has told me there is nothing that is off limits. It is about portion control. I am almost 8 months out and dont drink soda. I did have a small glass of champagne and did not have any problems.

Google Ghrelin. Its a hormone in the stomach that causes hunger. It is pretty much gone after surgery. It also regulates body temp. My whole life I was always hot until after the surgery. I believe the absence of this hormone has something to do with it.

What foods do you no longer like?
cartmansnj replied to anglicanchic85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have not had any changes as to what I like. Only the amount that I can eat. Of course I have not had any bread, pasta, rice or sugar since my surgery so I dont know if I still like those things. (pretty sure I will) I always heard that was more for the Bypass patients. -

I was on liquids for a month. I would say you are lucky not normal. It was very hard for me to get all my fluids in because of the restriction even with water.

My wife has been sick for about a week and it finally got me. My throat is killing me. What can we take? No advil or anti inflammatory right?

I know they are higher in fat than wheat thins but would pork rinds be a good snack for a sleever? Not in the beginning of course. I believe they are high in protein and low in carbs.
