Anybody have a leak with their sleeve?
iamkiki posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've read that left shoulder pains are common when experiencing a leak in the sleeve. I've had that some today, but it's not constant. Just wondering if anybody else has had that pain and it NOT been a leak. -
Ug, pushed back to Phase 1
iamkiki replied to tfarr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've had to go back to phase I also. I'm just hoping it's because I'm eating/drinking too fast and not a leak. I couldn't keep anything down yesterday. Have you had that problem? -

The shoulder pain has pretty much stopped, but I couldn't keep much down yesterday. Thinking I will call the Dr. today just to be safe. -

Federal Insurance and Skin removal/Plastic Surgery coverage questions ?
iamkiki replied to sweeteyes504's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I'm a NALC member but on BCBS ins. I hope you get some good advice for this question because I'm curious too! -
I'm 10 days out from surgery and have been doing pretty good until yesterday. I took an extremely small bite of yogurt and thought I was going to die. I had the worst pain in my chest, like an elephant was sitting on me. Now, almost everything I try to get down puts me in pain. I did manage to get a Protein shake down this morning, but it was still slightly painful. Any ideas what I've done?

Stomach issues - warning too much info
iamkiki replied to DrewM's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've had the same problem, but have come to the conclusion that I have developed the dreaded lactose intolerance. As long as I avoid any milk, I'm ok. -
5 days PO and water is my enemy :(
iamkiki replied to ohmissmegan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm at the same stage you are and I've decided that my problem with the water is that I can't drink it slowly enough. I don't know why, but I just can't.
