I am currently living in the middle east and have decided to move to Florida due to medical problems after having the mgb. My concerns are finding a bariatric clinic that will monitor my blood and health every couple of months. Does anyone have any suggestions? I will be moving to Orland Florida.

Hello everyone, I had mgb on October 6, 2016 and I have lost a significant amount of weight. I have had some complications and its been a rough year. My highest weight was 249 pounds and I am currently 123 pounds and my height is 5'7 1/2. Subsequently,I started out with a lower BMI than most people getting weight loss surgery. Has anyone had to have surgery to make their intestines longer to ascertain better absorption ? I am getting the surgery in two weeks and wanted to see if anyone else has had this experience.

My weight has dropped to 125 pounds ( no matter what I eat) and so surgery for better absorption is necessary. Its been a rough road but looking forward to better days. Sent from my LG-K430 using BariatricPal mobile app

Is anyone experiencing terrible night sweats ? I had mgb in October 2016 and experienced some complications. In the last 6 months I have night sweats everynight and have to change my pajamas and bedding everynight. Sent from my LG-K430 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had the operation in October 2016 and night sweats started 6 months ago. I am past menopause so that is not the issue. My endocrinolgist believes it is from inflammation in my abdomen. Going to see a internal medicine doctor. Sent from my LG-K430 using BariatricPal mobile app

My locs fell out but I am also on coumadin. Going to cut my locs out in about a week.[emoji20] Sent from my LG-K430 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am having my gallbladder removed due to gallstones on July 20th. The doctors could not get my coumadin levels down in a 72 hour window so they put in a drainage for three weeks for the inflammation and infection. I was also put on a regimen of antiobiotics. It has been a tremendously difficult and a painful time. Anyone have any advice or had their gallbladder removed ? The pain is excruciating and I am currently on oxycodone and bed rest. Counting the days down to July 20th. Sent from my LG-K430 using BariatricPal mobile app

When they did my mgb I had a tumor removed a hernia repaired and three days later rushed back into surgery with a bleeding ulcer. Then on January 31st I diagnosed with DVT and bialateral pulmonary embolism. My initial mgb surgery was October 9th. It has been a tremendously rough 9 months.

Unfortunately my coumadin level did not go down enough in 72 hours and it was still too high. So they put the drainage in and my sugery date is July 20th. I have been in and out the hospital twice already so the pain has truly been unbearable. The doctor gave me a strong pain medicine and I have been able to rest at home. Needless to say I have reached my goal weight and some I am currently 130 pounds down starting from 242. I hope everything works out for you. Sent from my SM-P550 using BariatricPal mobile app

I try to keep my day with positivity and some days I succeed and some days I don't. I am happy I had the mgb because I know their is a light at the end of this tunnel. I have lost 122 pounds and reached my goal weight. Sent from my LG-K430 using BariatricPal mobile app
