    Fullness

    How far out are you? I didn't feel restriction until I moved to pureeds and solids.

    I was surprised to find that my heart would race whenever I ate or drank during the first 3 weeks after surgery. I brought it up during my post op appt with my surgeon, and he said it was normal, and that it was due to pressure on the vagus nerve from stomach swelling.

    Apparently, Meralgia Parasthetica is a common occurrence after Bariatric surgery. I did a Google search on "Meralgia Parasthetica after Bariatric Surgery" and many instances came up. A few research articles blamed abdominal retractors used during surgery. Not sure if it's accurate, but definitely interesting.

    Interesting. I'm getting it checked out this week and will follow up.

    I started experiencing numbness in both outer thighs last week. My VSG surgery was 12/21/16. I am going to see a doc but wanted to share something I found called Meralgia Parasthetica. Matches my symptoms exactly.

    Pizza

    leslaine replied to ellie2016's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I made pizza last night with cauliflower crust. It's not exactly the same, but it did the job. I could only eat a few bites of a slice of the cheese "pizza".

    Spooked

    leslaine replied to carebear~'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am 5 weeks post op, sleeve - I only threw up once and that was the day after surgery. I've never experienced "foams", I don't get heartburn, and I can gulp water (even plain water). No issues other than the soreness and discomfort that is part of the healing process. I even returned to work 7 days post op because I felt fine. Everyone's experience is different, but not all are experiences are bad. Hope this helps!

    I thought the same thing; I kept asking my doctor if he'd actually performed the surgery. Things got real a week out, though ... and very real when I started eating pureed foods.

    $$$$

    leslaine replied to shon74's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    The day before surgery. They would not allow me to make payment arrangements because it was the remaining balance on the deductible.

    $$$$

    leslaine replied to shon74's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I paid $2000. That was the amount remaining on my deductible.

    I'm 25 days post op and was about to start a similar thread because I was so happy to find soup on the menu! lol

    It gets better. I was sleeved on 12/21, and it took about 4 to 6 days before I started feeling normal again. Hang in there.

    Thank you, everyone.

    Am I crazy?

    leslaine replied to fatnomore2017's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I had surgery on 12/21, and I returned to work on 12/29. I feel just fine, but feel a little weak after walking short distances.
  25. leslaine
    Funny you should say this: when I was at my pre op appt on 12/20, the nurse told me to be sure to clean my belly button before I come in for surgery. I thought to myself, "is this really an issue?" lol
