Anyone getting banded in Nov?
Scorpion11 replied to swankybangles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ended up getting the sleeve last Thursday 11/14, but the nurse did talk to both groups LB/Sleeves about the gas pain, it can radiate from low abdominal to upper rib cage, neck, shoulder and yes back pain. It's all gas. I had my 1st last night, I thought it was my internal staples and was in so much pain, under my right rib cage, it hurt to inhale. I walked around for a while and didn't help, I tools my Tylenol w/codienecand it helped a bit. I realized this morning, I didn't pass any gas yesterday nor had a BM since Sunday, I got caught up in making sure I had all my fluids and Protein I forgot to try to pass gas. I finally did both toads but still in some pain, so nurse told me to drink 15ML of Milk of Magnesia today. If you haven't passed gas or had a BM, it will cause gas to go where it can. Hope you feel better. PS sorry TMI but important to share about passing gas, it's hurt more than recovery in hospital. -
Barium Swallow Tomorrow..ugh!
FitnFabfor2014 replied to onedaycloser's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my barium test a few months back. There were two technicians and they were great. The tast wasn't so bad it was the texture and the amount that I had to drink. One was very "chalky". I know it's TMI but, your BM will be a chalky color for a day or so too lol. They also made me drink upside down. Now that was interesting. The surprising part was they only found mild acid reflux. My chest says differently!!! You'll do great. It's painless. -
Thanks, Spicy. A girl in the pre-op class said the same thing today. She also said she had the runs from the shake. TMI right.

November buddies where are you?
mage54 replied to soonerorlater's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I finally am able to get back on here... To those who haven't had surgery yet, please don't think it was due to issues or pain I have just been busy. I am feeling fantastic. I did have a bit of a bump in the road on Saturday morning, I spiked a fever and had to return to the hospital. After going to the ER the surgeon decided to admit me back upstairs and run all sorts of tests. Leak test, chest x-ray, blood clot tests, urine, blood, stool.... Literally everything, I even got to go back home Sunday morning. Felt fine the whole time even with a fever of 103, it all came back decent until last night I got a call that I tested positive for C. Diff. Dr. Z is really unsure how I could've gotten it and had symptoms so quickly, but I am still doing great no incision pain, had gas pains the first night but that was it. The only issue really worth noting is that my drain makes me uncomfortable. Not painful just not pleasant. The pain I do have is handled quite nicely by pain pills, the clear liquids for the first week are going great. I haven't been hungry (at all) since Wednesday before surgery. Usually when I do feel something that kinda resembles hunger it turns out to be a bit of gas (sorry if TMI) I belch and it goes away. I am so very happy with my surgery, my team that did it, and everything else. Best decision ever. Stay focused each of you who were nervous it is scary going in, but the other side is great. -
Any other September 2013 bandsters?
PuraVida37 replied to Irishflower79's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
18 lbs is not slow. You're doing great! Debbie, my NSV is (TMI ALERT!!!) getting my period on my own. It's been several years since that's happened. OK, maybe it's not really a victory after all. LOL!!! PS I'm hungry. Now I understand bandster hell. -
My period last month after surgery seemed normal. But this month, second month out I have been spotting for a week now and it has yet to kick in and its getting really really annoying..... I am guessing its due to weight loss and my body adjusting to things but was wondering if anyone else had similar issues? Thanks and sorry for the TMI was not sure where else to ask....

Just Prancing Around In My Size 2 Skinny Jeans!
Ms skinniness replied to Jenny12's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
OMG, a size 2! That's awesome.....I wear a size 8 jean but can fit into a size 6 but my lady parts feel comfy........Sorry for TMI... But I love my jeans......... I will have to look into those jeans too... -
I've had my band for going on 18 months and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions of my life but lately... I am a burping machine and in silence my stomach is like a full orchestra with noises that are kind of unnerving, never painful or even uncomfortable at all just.., noisy. Also I cannot stop burping! Cannot! Little ones, big ones just constant and sometimes they make me feel better but sometimes they are just epic and untimely if you catch my drift. I have been considering a slight unfill but as I have done so well (started at 290 now 185 for several months) to say I'm not a little chicken would be a lie. I now have a life where I did not. I work better I feel tremendously better and have waaaaaay more energy. Just kinda spooked. I have had short periods over this journey that I feel extra tight but they have always passed. This has been going on for a bit now and has now progressed to PBing which I NEVER had. Strange thing is that I had my last fill probably 6months ago (7cc in a 14cc band) and have maintained my weight loss to the pound for about the last 5months. Doing great otherwise but after having a healthy smoothie I burped a good deal of it up. Sorry for the tmi but grrrrr! Somebody throw me a bone. Probably will end up getting 1/2 cc unfill but the timing is just very odd

I'm going to be a Nov. Sleever
Choppy1383837799 replied to cdunn's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Good Luck! I was sleeved in Boston on 11/6. The pain wasn't nearly as bad as I thought and I haven't been sick once. I'm one week post op and looking forward to the mushy/soft food stage in one week. My energy is pretty good but not 100%. FYI, TMI...start drinking fiber and stool softeners as soon as your out of the hospital. You'll appreciate it when nature eventually calls. -
No Weight Loss Day
mamaplumlee replied to CrystalW's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It happens to me more so lately. Mine depends on how much I'm drinking and (tmi) whether I'm pooping. -
This may be TMI but anyone still having problems with diarrhea? No matter what I eat or drink I'm going a few times a day. And by going I mean GOING. Ugh.

I'm only rounding out 8 months PO but I can eat anything except rice. It's the only thing I actively avoid. It gave me constipation pre-op and post-op my dealings with it have been few but each time I have either had discomfort or pain so I avoid it. I have only had a few "bad" interactions with food and have never thrown up or slimed since the 6 week relearning food phase. My bad interactions were at 2 weeks PO, I threw up on tuna fish. It was too soon for me. At about 8 weeks, I forgot and drank Water too fast. I was sore for two days and thought I had blown something up (I didn't). I have had a couple times where I ate too much or too fast and felt queasy or overfull. But these are minor and I haven't had any actual food reactions. As long as I eat slow enough and listen to my body, everything goes down fine and stays down fine. ETA: I forgot my nemesis, Fresh and Easy turkey chili. Yeah, I ate it twice in one day (1 cup total) and OMG...I got such bad painful gas, I thought something exploded or got blocked and I was going to die. I sat up all night debating going to the ER, finally went to sleep, and woke up the next morning feeling better albeit in a room that smelled like something you would never want to smell. woowhee. TMI, but y'asked My main problem PO is not so much with food but getting super gas and gas pains. For some reason, I get a more farty PO. I hope it goes away eventually.

Previous gall bladder removal question
Fluffnomore replied to JCallie01's topic in Gastric Plication Surgery Forum
I had my gallbladder out 5 years ago and was sleeved about 3 weeks ago. I have 5 new incision sites, so no. As far as the bowel stuff goes, I had (TMI warning) really loose stools almost every day. Sometimes the urgency, but it didn't seem to be brought on particularly by greasy. It was worst in the morning. I was convinced it might be bile salts diarrhea type stuff, but never bothered to have it tested. Since sleeving I have had a couple of those moments, but if anything I struggle more with the opposite. It is early days, yet, so maybe this will change. -
Items recommended for home after surgery???
Irishflower79 replied to reed3580's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
All those are great things to have! I am 4 days postoperative and the one thing I had to go get today was Vagasil cream (I know TMI) but the IV antibiotic given at the hospital and the antibiotic 5 days post op wrecked havoc on my system! Good luck with everyone's up coming surgeries!! -
Not Losing Weight On The Pre-Op Diet...
caroline2 replied to Kelly G's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on day 5 pre-op. This may be TMI, but maybe useful. Since I've been getting so much protein I have become constipated. It's been over 3 days since I've had a BM. I took a laxative this morning and hope it works! I certainly would not recommend a laxative unless you are constipated. Just a thought. Good luck to you! -
I've had an experience where I had ate a bit too much one day, I got a terrible HA and decided to take a tylenol #4. But I ate 2 bites of a Quest bar. Within 10 minutes I felt my stomach spasm and a bit nauseous so I thought I'd go to the bathroom and try to throw up because I was so nauseous. Well i had to sit down on the toilet because I started feeling really dizzy. I ended up on the floor pasted out. Started throwing up and had diarrhea at the same time. I kept sliming. All the saliva just kept coming up and it was a horrid feeling. Plus the IBS happening at the same time. Needless to say, I don't take Tylenol #4 anymore due to the spasming of my stomach. Sorry for TMI.........Sliming really sucks.

That is so awesome! I'm hoping that with this surgery it will help me to level out my hormones. Prob tmi but I recently started producing a substance that looks like breast milk. This stuff is just to weird. So at least I won't feel too much like a cow lol

Stuck and Frustrated. ..
LoryLosesXS replied to WildChickie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A few things I've learned is how our bodies hold on to Water before a significant weight drop. The body is holding on for endear life when we don't eat enough calories. Drink lots and lots of water. This may be TMI, but I lost weight after I took a BM. I eat a lot of Protein and I am no longer regular. Every couple of days my body lets go. Hang in there and measure yourself. Even the most fit people use measurements and not weight due to muscle weighing more than fat. You may be gaining muscle too. :-). -
Things I will NOT miss about being fat.

This is tmi, but being intimate with my husband and scared to be on top, I always thought I was hurting him -
Ok, so how are you logging sex in mfp? I mean if you go at it for an hour are you putting undrr aerobics? Lol (embarrassed)

NSV's: Cute Clothes and A Cute Boyfriend
PrettyThick1 posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Miss Pearlie has done an outstanding job in such a short amount of time. I've just had the most romantic weekend and I'm going on pure adrenaline and butterflies today since I only slept for 2 hours last night. Anyway...I can wear the prettiest clothes and it's fun coming up with new combinations to wear them, so for the first time in a very long time I treated myself to a shopping spree on Saturday morning. I came back with clothes that I think I love more than any I've ever had and I can't wait to wear them - something I haven't felt since planning for the first day of school during senior high. And - a guy that I've known for 4 years is looking like he's going to shape up to be a great companion for me. He lives in a neighboring state, but has family (who really like me and have urged him to move back just for me for at least 3 of those years) that he visits often in Houston; he recently accepted a new job and can visit every other weekend now. Call it a hunch, but I can see him moving back to Houston within the next year - I can't see things getting anything but better from here. He is a country gentleman, he's romantic, he loves animals, he's great with kids, has high morals and ethics and he's a good person...a benefit of knowing him for so long before getting to this point. He was attracted and attractive to me before I lost weight, so the doubt about "would he want me if I was the same weight as before" isn't something I have to be concerned about. Another bonus. It's funny...he looks a lot like an actor I had a crush on and his personality matches a character that the actor played in one of my favorite movies (Allen Payne, Jason's Lyric). What's more is that I love the way people look at us, we catch strangers staring and smiling at us and that is so different because before the weight loss, I didn't think we "matched" like he was too attractive to be with me - I know, I know, self esteem, yada yada yada...but now, I don't feel that way and in his own way he "shows me off" when we go out. I never thought I'd be arm candy. LOL Ok...all of this might have been TMI, but I haven't been in love with anyone in more than 14 years - this is an amazing development and I want to share it with the world. :wub:- 10 replies

Help to contact doctor or not
pookluvp replied to pookluvp's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
None of those. Just pain. Now I think the back pain was gas because (tmi) I just went to the bathroom and it's gone but thanks guys -
I know I havent been posting that much lately but I have been feeling some kind of something for a few weeks now but it seems in the past week since I have been dealing with a Sinus infection and ear infection It is worst. I have taken NSAIDS as my gyobyn said it was ok, and today I got a shot of steriods with a prescription of Prednisone to start in the morning. I have taken Advil this past year, and just this week been taking a nasal decongestant and Mucinex for cold and flu. Ok so now to what I have been feeling. I get a pain in my pouch at least once a week, I mean bad pain that I usually go all day with. Eating and drinking does not make it better, but then I go to bed wake up and its gone. Now the past week, and definately today, I am getting a burning pain every time I eat or drink, and when I drink, It feels like my pouch is filling up like a balloon and is going to pop. I have been getting a tiny bit nauseous starting today when eating or drinking, and real burpy and my stomach acid in my stomach is like non stop almost. I have also noticed a change in my bowel movements. Sorry TMI!! but i was going regular regular sometimes 2-3 times a day, but the past week or so I have noticed not so much and each time they are getting harder and darker and darker. In which I had noticed I have been having trouble losing weight since June. I havent lost one single pound i have actually gained. I weighed 180 June 1st and today I weigh 185-187. I am one year post op gastric bypass 10.29.12 and had gallbladder removal 12.29.12, and a complete hysterectomy 05.02.13. Any ideas would be nice. Rhonda
