Hey! So a few weeks ago I was having major back and side pain. Like, REALLY bad. After about 2 weeks of really bad shooting pain on my right side and my back and not taking my post surgery vitamins for about 4 months (they got me really nauseous), I ended up in the ER for 12 hours. My biggest worry was that something was wrong with my Type 1 Diabetes so my endocrinologist demanded I go and get this checked out. After many test including blood work, urine samples, X-rays and an ultra sound, doctors came to the conclusion that I have to get my Gaul bladder removed next week due to Gaul stones. I was reading something about how this is common with people that have had Bariatric surgery. Is this true? Have any of you guys had this problem? I was just curious if any of you guys have had this experience and what I should be prepared for. Thanks! Ps- I didn't get it checked out for so long because I thought maybe all the pain was from carrying all of my heavy textbooks around due to the fact that I am a full time college student.

Thank you so much I really appreciate it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi my names Jennifer, I'm 18, a type 1 diabetic and I had my surgery on 5/18/16. I've lost 65 lbs. and I haven't lost anymore weight in the past few months. I'm only able to eat about 8 ounces at a time like I'm supposed to but my weight goes up and down every day. I am a college student and "healthy eating" isn't always the easiest thing. It just bums me out how my scale will tell me I'm heavier than I was the day before. I aIso get hungrier faster after Snacks or meals throughout the day and was just curious if this happens to anybody else. I'm really new to the app and would just like any advice I can get. Thanks!

I'm a T1D and I had my sleeve surgery 5/18/16 and it's been hard but has made being a T1D so much easier. Although I'm not on the pump and am on a novolog pen, it's just made the amount of insulin I take in super low due to the amount of food I take in. I've only had one bad high ( was at 580) and a few bad lows (30's) but in general has had some awesome affects not only in my weight loss journey but for my diabetes too. Since my surgery I've lost 65lbs and my A1C is at a 6.5. Also I was taken off my metformin due to the fact that I am no longer somewhat insulin resistant because of my weight. I'm only 18 and in my short life, this was the best decision me and my family has ever made.
