Hello All, I am 12 days post op and for the past week I've been getting this sensation in the back of my throat, it feels like a lump inside there. In the morning when I wake up, it's not there, but as the day goes by, I notice it more and more. I don't have a problem drinking or getting my Protein in. I called my dr and said that it could be swollen or acid reflux. Anyone have this?

Thank you, have your symptoms gone away?

Thank you madam. I'm on the app and I've been trying to search for those topics but I can't find anything. Is there anyway you can post the link to the forum you started on that?

Hello All, Everything has been going fine, been able to get in all my fluids, all my Protein. Today I went to take the Celebrate chewable Vitamin c and I threw it up. Sooo scared, I called my doctor and said that it's nothing to worry about, that particular Vitamin C is to acidic and didn't agree with your stomach, so I will stop taking it. Has anyone else experienced this?

I would not recommend the ones that I bought from celebrate. They are really chalky and just don't taste good

I am 7 days post op

What happened zoumommy? Hope you're feeling better.

You could take a shower, but you can't take a bath. You can't let your wounds soak for a long period of time

Hello All, For the past couple of days, I've noticed that when I walk, my calves are sore. I have no swelling and it's not warm to the touch. Just want to know if anyone has ever experienced this

Oh and I'm on lovenox

I've been walking a lot more. The soreness is mainly on the right, but I could also feel it on the left

Hello All, I had my surgery Monday evening, I was discharged yesterday. I have only been able to take in about 24oz of liquid. That includes 37 grams of protein via protein shakes. Is this normal? I find it hard to get all these liquids in

Today

I also am experiencing a lot of gas. I don't know if you have the same thing, but I also get like a pain in the middle of my chest for a quick second and then it goes away. It hurts

I also get the pressure in the middle of my chest... That sucks.

Did everyone have their surgery done robotically, via davinci?

Hello all, Just want to check in. Had my surgery on Monday. I've been experiencing a low grade fever at 100.2... Really don't feel sick or anything. Just wanting to know if anyone experienced this after surgery and if it got normal

I'm still in the hospital. They check my white blood cell count is normal and my temperature is back down to 98.7. They said that I wasn't using my spirometer that often

Right now running a low grade fever at 100.2 and blood pressure is a little high. Nurse says to keep doing breathing exercises. Anyone here experience this after surgery?

Hello All, I just had my surgery last night. They keep checking my blood pressure and it's at 145/90 around there. Would just like to know if any of you experienced high blood pressure day after surgery and when it got better, Thank you

I was never hypertensive before. Nurses say it's a compilation of meds that are given and pain from the surgery

Hello all, Just an update. I had my surgery yesterday around 6pm. So far so good.... The only pain I have is from has and have been trying to walk as much as possible to get that out, besides that just a little sore and uncomfortable. I just passed the leak test, that was nasty! Hoping that everyday gets better. Good luck on your journeys

Hello all, I have my surgery tomorrow at 2pm. I am scheduled to be there at 12 noon. My emotions are all over the place. I never had surgery before, so I'm anxious, excited, scared, nervous. Etc... I've been overweight my entire life and have done yo-yo dieting. I started out my journey in July of 2013 weighing in at 325. Through diet and exercise I am now at 265 with the pre-liquid diet... Dont know if it's normal to go back and forth on this decision for the past 3-4 days, asking my self I only need to lose 65-70 pounds. My medical problems are sleep apnea, that is my major reason for having this surgery. Also I suffer from panic attacks & anxiety. Is it normal to second guess my decision in going into surgery? Thank you, Jorge

I am having my surgery today at 2pm and have to be at the hospital at 12noon. I have a bundle of emotions. Nervous, anxious, scared, excited. Asking myself did I really try hard enough to lose this weight. I am having the surgery because I have sleep apnea and also weight control issues. I have tried every diet out there, and become successful, but no matter what I always gain the weight back. Hope everyone has a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. Did anyone ever second guess this surgery the days leading up to the surgery?
