Its totally okay if you dont want to tell anyone. Its none of their business. Not everyone is around perfect people who wont judge you so do what is comfortable for you. Telling your business or not telling your business is perfectly okay. All people know (that are not in my inner circle) is that i had a hernia repair.

Today pain was 4/10. Didnt take pain meds. Ate pureed squash. It caused a little gas not much. Also had scrambled eggs gor Breakfast. Those went down easy. It was only 1 egg. Total weight loss is 9lbs.

Bless your heart. They should have told you which shakes to drink.

Also surgeons talk to us like we wont understand if they go into detail. When they learn that you too are a professional in the medical field, they they are more candid in conversation. They dont tell you everything because people tend to panic with too much info. Dumping syndrome is the reason they want us on low sugar everything. Also many bariatric patients are diabetics too and are very prone to dumping syndrome even before surgery. Every case of diarrhea is not dumping syndrome of course but post gastrectomy patients are at higher risk for it.

Yes you can get dumping syndrome with the sleeve. You can get dumping syndrome without any surgery at all. Read a medical journal too. The prevalence of dumping syndrome is lower with the sleeve but 100% possible.

Im proud of you dallas curvy girl. Thats how we should all behave. New healthier lifestyle

Okay. Im a little unnerved that i keep seeing people here going right nack to the same eating style that got us into fat camp in the first place. The gastric sleeve is a blessing and we should treat it that way. Why go through all of this if we just keep eating the trash we were eating before??? Being skinny now doesnt make us immune to health issues. We can still develop hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesteremia! Dont live to eat, eat to live. food should no longer be our reward nor focus. Just eat whats necessary and dont push the envelope. American values has us programmed into thinking food is for fun. Its not, its simply fuel for us to do things that are fun. Come on people, we have to maintain a healthy lifestyle and stop toying with our health. Peace and love to all.

Congrats to you all

Thats called dumping syndrome. Diarrhea or vomiting is caused by too much glucose or carbs. Our new stomachs dont absorb large amounts of sugar and carbs.

I am interested in an email or phone number exchange between us girls who are progressing at the same time. If you are interested, private message me or post ur email so we can continue to talk and support each other on our journey!

I didnt know i had one until my pre op endoscopy.it was hiatal which simply means ur stomach is pushing up through your diaphragm. It increases your tightness post op but soon relaxes.

Congrats!

Im so happy for you!!

This is normal. The only thing that sucks with the hernia repair is increased tightness and gas. Just be ready for insane gas and anything u swallow including pain meds add more gas.

It could be gas. Have you been doing your incentive spirometer? Walking? The other possibility is pulmonary embolus or pleuritis.
