Hello. I was sleeved on 9/29 and have had a relatively easy recovery. I feel great. But in the last two or three days I have noticed that my shoulders are becoming sore. Mainly when I do things, but even minor things like hold big my purse or even texting. It is mainly My left shoulder, but my right as well. I am left handed and therefore using my left shoulder more. I am going to call my doctor when they have office hours this afternoon, but does this sound like a symptom of a leak? Or maybe just weakness? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm feeling really frustrated and down. I had surgery 9/29 was 251. So 11 days ago. I am only down to 242. And no movement on the scale in the last 4 days. I don't get it. I'm getting in all my Protein and fluids. I drink 2 Protein shakes, half a yogurt, and a cup of broth a day. I'm up and moving around. How am I not losing? I am a slow loser when dieting and I'm scared it's going to be the same with the sleeve. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I hope so! And it's not even pain. Like a light soreness. I'm sure I'm overreacting. I'm a worst case scenario kind of girl lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am beyond stressing! My surgery was approved and scheduled for 9/29. I had my medical clearance appointment this past weekend. My doctor never sent the script for a spleen ultrasound he wants done because on existing issue I have with my platelets. Fine. That's now scheduled for the Tuesday before the surgery. I had the ekg, blood work, and chest X-ray. The nurse at the hospital said it has to be sent over to my primary doctor for the clearance but everything looks great. I get to my primary today and he reviews it and says there is a problem with my ekg and he wants to repeat it. He does and the problem is still there. Inverted t waves. Said I need a stress test before he can clear me. I go to schedule it and nothing free until mid October. They are going to try and fit me in Monday. I go home and Google inverted t waves and now think I am about to have a heart attack any second! Im so nervous about my heart and I don't think the surgery is going to happen next week! Just venting. Thanks for getting this far lol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
