So I've been experiencing an awful amount of gallstone pain so I scheduled to have my gallbladder out on 12/22. I'm nervous since I'm going away the 5th of January and I just wanted to hear some experiences people have had after getting their gallbladder out! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 5 months out, and I had a little turkey, a litttttle mashed potatoes, gravy and carrots. Stomach is ok so far but I also have gallstones and don't want to trigger them so I'm taking more precautions! I currently left the room for dessert time. It sucks so much but I'm 100 lbs thinner in 5 months. By next thanksgiving I'll be a size 8! ???? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I woke up last night at 12:00am with excruciating pain, threw up all night and ended up bringing myself to the hospital at 4:00am. Found out it was gallstones. Has anyone else been through this? What was your experience like? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've had so many ups and down these past four months! I started at 340 lbs. I'm down to 251 lbs. As much as I have regretted having this surgery done, it has saved my life. I'm 22 years old and I was going down a road I don't think I would have stopped if I didn't have this surgery. I've always been a bigger girl, but 340lbs is and will be my biggest and i am never going to go back to it. It's the hardest thing I have ever done. This surgery has impacted me emotionally so much, I've been having a rollercoaster of emotions every day. I am so incredibly proud of myself though, that I am tearing up! Haha. It's amazing how many things I've noticed. I'm actually wearing jeans! Jeans!! Size 16!! I went from a 22 to a 16 in just 4 months. It's insane. I was watching a show called 'My 600 lb life' today and I just felt so much with what the woman was saying. She was saying that sugar was like heroin.. and food is such a comfort in her life. That's how it was for me. I struggle with depression and as I got heavier I got more depressed so food was always my comfort. It's been so rough, but it will be worth it. It has been so far but it has not been easy. Overeating is a sickness and there are times I wish I could eat like I used to, and that scares me so much. I don't want to go into a spiral again and gain weight back. I've been in therapy but I don't know what else would work for me. What are some things that help y'all with not overeating?

I had my surgery in June. I started at 340lbs and I now weight 262lbs. I've lost almost 80lbs. Weight has always been an issue in my life, but I'm feeling more depressed than I ever had in my life. I've suffered from depression for years and food was always my emotional outlet. Nothing ever comforted me as food has. This surgery has also really shown me how awful people are and how different people treat you. I'm struggling so much. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh my gosh, yes that happened to me for the first few weeks after surgery. TMI the happy endings get better and better as you lose more weight Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I really wish I never had the sleeve. I am in so much pain. I ended up going to the hospital yesterday and the doctor had nothing to say what was wrong. I'm absolutely miserable and the sight of food makes me want to puke. I'm 6 weeks out and I feel like death. This is the worst thing I've ever done to myself and I would never recommend this surgery to anyone. If this pain doesn't go away soon I don't know what I'll do.

Was in the hospital for 2 days. Ended up that the opening of my stomach was curving a bit. I was on iv fluids and I am feeling much better than the other day! Hopefully this is my last complication. Really hard few days! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Not a blood clot, they did an ultrasound and everything was fine Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They did a bunch of tests. I physically cannot eat at all. My pain is in my abdomen, and I feel nauseous all the time! I don't have a leak and they checked if it was my gallbladder. I don't know how much longer I can feel like this.. It's unbearable Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am going on my second yeast infection. I was sleeved on 6/16/16. Have any of you had a yeast infection? Or two??? I've had 1 on my tongue and 2 going on in the other area. Getting concerned.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am probably dehydrated. I didn't know that could cause yeast infections. I have been having a tough time keeping anything down. I will still call my doctor. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello. This is my first post on here. I was sleeved on June 16, 2016. My starting weight was 340lbs and I am now 298lbs. I am 5 weeks out, and I've been feeling absolutely miserable. I've been nauseous and the sight of certain foods or even thinking about food makes me feel miserable. I feel like I am losing too slow, or like I'm doing everything wrong. I've been sleeping terribly and I've had a headache for 3 days. I'm absolutely exhausted and have no motivation to work out. I'm having a really tough time coping with my emotions. I was very much an emotional eater and now that my stomach is gone I don't have anything healthy to cope with. It's been really miserable for me. I'm crabby, emotional, exhausted, and kind of regretting the surgery right now. I would love to kinda just undo it right now. Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
