I had sex about two weeks out, it was a little painful...I am now almost five weeks out and have lost 66 lbs and sex is awesome, keeps getting better

I am 4 weeks post op today an returned back to work. I am a teller manager and I do a lot of walking, so I did not sit down today at all bedsides my 30 min break. So on my right abdomen I started having pain mid morning that last all day, it's not excruciating it feels like a tugging or pulled muscle. Tonight I was checking the area out and turns out there is a lump where the pain is. It is about the size of a quarter. It is not near an incision site and when laying down it is more painful so much so I can't sleep on my right side. Anyone have something like this? I hate to call my doc and it be something stupid.....

I called was told to monitor, and call back in a few days.....still hurts and there are a few more limps now so we will see how it goes.

Thanks I needed to hear that

It's off of Route 12 about an hour from Binghamton. I currently live in Ga but NY is my home

I started to be the same way, I didn't want a lot of people to know. But through this journey I have learned that I am proud of my decision to change my lifestyle. I don't care what people think but as of tight now I haven found any one who has criticized me to my face. I knew people would be suspicious so if they ask I tell them. Don't be afraid of what people think, most of us have spent our lives worrying what people think of us being over weight, so why should we worry if we are working hard to change it.

You look great!

Where in NY do you live? I am from Norwich in Chenango County.

I will be our for 4 weeks. I go back to work on Tuesday

I am from Norwich....not too far from you. However I currently reside in GA.

Where in Upstate? I'm from a little town called Norwich in Chenango county.

I'm an hour north if you in Gainesville

Awesome!

I know what you mean about wanting to be thin and healthy. I dont have any kids, that's the main reason I decided to do this because I have a disorder called PCOS and it led to my weight gain and infertility issues. This surgery is supposed to help if not correct it. So I hope in a few years I will be running around chasing my kiddos. You will do great I'm sure, you already know mostly what to expect, about won't be a total shock. How long before you know about insurance approval?

I went to my first seminar in May 2012, I was done with the process and approved by my doc and insurance by July but had to put off surgery due to work. I had my surgery September 25, I starred at 364lbs and I am down to 300. I lost 40lbs before surgery and have lost 24 after. Mine was not a revision, I havent had any other weight loss surgery besides the bypass. I am sure you will do great, just stick to the diet and try not to get upset if something makes you sick.....I got upset the first time because I was doing everything right, my doc was awesome though telling me how our body is adjusting and that it might not like something right away but to try again later.

I had Gastric Bypass....everything has been Bette than I hoped. I have gotten sick a few times with different foods but the doc said that is normal. Other than that my process had been smooth.

I had Anthem BCBS and they were awesome, no hoops to jump and no strings. I am so happy with my insurance company and they made that leg of my journey a breeze. I hope you have good luck with your company!

My initial beginning weight was 364, I am currently 300.....goal is 155

I'm 28 and had none on 9/25....I'm on the September to Remember FB page as well. I did this to have children. Nice to meet you.

Wow!! They must have you on some serious monitoring...when are they due?
