Doing great since surgery 10/10. Highest weight 210, presurgery weight 193 current weight 144 lost 64 total, 49 pounds since surgery.

I had wanted the duodenal switch. My pcp said no way. He was convinced that malabsorption was horrible. We talked for awhile and when I told him that I had been dieting without a good result (always gained it back no matter what) for 52 years and this is what I wanted. He then said he would only refer for a sleeve. I said great and 10 weeks later I was sleeved. If your doctor won't cave I agree a new md is the way to go. My doctor is in his 70s and close to retirement so if he hadn't caved I would have gone elsewhere.

I had planned the sleeve and also had a fatty liver. He did a biopsy at surgery and said I didn't have cirrhosis. My doctor said no problem the weight loss and dietary changes will cure the fatty liver problem. I also don't drink. He said it was totally diet caused.

Under settings ( top right I believe) click on tickers. Then it will step you through the whole ticker including a chance to change all the weights. Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

I didn't get a binder or drains or Band-Aids. My incisions are healing nicely 1 month out Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

wow

I guess every doc is different. But my sleeve won't let me get in that much. His goal is 40-60 grams of protein and that is only 320 calories via protein shakes. I am lucky to get 300 calories a day. I am feeling fine. Yes that includes liquids but only taking in sugar free liquids doesn't add many calories. It takes me an hour or two to get an 11 ounce protein shake in.

The bottom is my 3week postop pic. I hope I posted properly. Thanks everyone for your support.😀

wow. You are taking in 1200 calories a day at 3 weeks????? My doctor encourages 400-600 calories a day and I get it only 300 to 400 so far and I am 19 days post. Maybe the calories are too high.

how do I upload pics on my desktop or app? Any help would be appreciated. Judy

how do I put 2 pics side by side? How do I even upload pics? Want to give a before and after pic also. Judy

I am only 6 days post surgery and I feel the same way. I have definitely never been this jazzed to eventually eat an egg.

I am also 7 days postop. I have not had motion sickness or dizziness but my balance has been off. I attribute it to being older and having general anesthesia. It gets better day to day. I am 64. Don't know if I am right but that is what I thinkl

I was also sleeved 10/10. I have some right sided pain but he did a liver biopsy so I attribute it to that. Mine is not as bad as yours though. I would definintely call your doctor. even if it is normal for you The doctor could reassure you and if not he can check it out .

I am sorry you are feeling so poorly. I had my surgery on the 10th and am worse today (day 2 postop) but nowhere near as bad as you. my doctor wanted me to walk 10 minutes every hour but i can't imagine even walking a mile like this. Maybe not walking as much will cause you less pain. I can' t imagine not having pain medication. I am trying not to take mine (only 1/2 pill in 24 hours) but it is nice to know it is there. also my doctor gave me a pill for preventing throat spasm that makes it hard to swallow. Maybe you can call your doc and ask for a pill for that. Hope you feel better
