Who is scheduled for Jan 8th? I'm getting nervous
aimeettu replied to 2013isit's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Ok guys I'm 5 days post op and today's is pretty bad. My stomachs rumbling and I have diarrhea... Tmi I know. Anyone else experienced this??? -
Ok this is TMI but I feel so gross that maybe some one here will understand. I am on vacation right now so I haven't been drinking Water as consistently and I left my fiber pills at home. Well I hadn't gone in three days and I felt like Rocks were sitting in my stomach. Boy was I right. I just had the most painful BM and there was lots of bleeding. It was so much backed up and so hard I can't keep going like this. I don't want to get hemorrhoids . Before surgery I was very regular and now it's a pain in my ass, literally. Ok I will try you suggestions. Thanks. Sorry for the details.

During The Lapband Procedure...
ElizabethAnne replied to Chamie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No, I didn't have a catheter. This may be TMI, but I thought it might be helpful to tell you about my experience. I expected to start my period a couple of days before surgery. When the pre-op nurse called a few days before surgery, I asked her about wearing a tampon. She told me it would be fine and said to tell my pre-op nurse when I arrived at the hospital. My period didn't start like I expected it to, but I inserted a tampon the morning of surgery, knowing my period could start at any moment. I explained this to the pre-op nurse. She gave me a pad and panties and told me to remove the tampon. It was no big deal. -
Ok, I was sleeved on April 16th however, I'm having a problem with bowel movement. What is going on? I'm a bit scared I have a call into my Doctor. Help Please!!!!!

Hi I'm new here and 21 days post-op. I've started to hate eating because it just makes me sick. I do not overeat, yet I find that sometimes after eating I get ill. But it's not in the way I've heard anyone else talk about. Instead of throwing up I go back and forth to the bathroom dealing with the other end. I know this is TMI but I really need to know if this is something anyone else goes through! I do suffer from anxiety disorder and I spent weeks before surgery convincing myself I'd be one of the people who are perfectly fine 3 wks out, unfortunately I'm not. I'm so anxious about everything I can't eat and when I'm sick it's awful. Anyone else have this issue?

Today I got up and was getting ready to see the nuro doctor and walked by my mirror and was happy to see the person in that mirror eventhough I have a funny mirror. I was proud!!! I also notice that I have lessen the hair growth on my face. I am not seeing much hair lost on my head but in my private part it falls out in clumps. Sorry for the TMI. since I have had the weight lost I was able to wipe myself and really get clean. When I sneeze I don't pee a little any more. The last little change is I was able to put on this griddle that I use to use to lift my belly so that it would not hang. It makes me look prego just a bit but it helps my back from having so much pain. Oh my feet are not swollen any more. The little changes is what I live for. Any one else see the little changes?

I see so many people for 4/23 including myself.. Anyone else feel like this is so surreal? I sometimes have to remind myself of my decision to do this. I am on my 2 week diet and my dr's office does it strict protein shake for 2 weeks, with other liquids but no food. I haven't been handling this so good, and cheated twice with just another protein (eggs, and piece of cheese). I got my period (i know TMI) and I think that is making it worse for me, the headaches are sooo bad, and I'm so moody. Let's keep this thread going so we can all follow each other's progress. Also I understand that if I"m struggling now, how will I handle after surgery questions.. But my logic is after surgery I won't be physically hungry. I mean I'm starving. Good luck to us all!!!

I was married for 19 yrs during most of my "fat yrs". My husband died 4 yrs ago unexpectedly. 2 1/2 yrs ago I got the band placed. I started dating when I had lost about 50 lbs (was still about 60 lbs overweight). Had sex for the first time in 3 yrs after losing about 70. When I met my current husband (we've now been married 5 mths) 18 mths ago, I weighed about 25 lbs more than I do now. While I thought about my body, I'm definately not one to have sex in the dark - I like to look at his face ! (Sorry if tmi). And while I do have some dimpled skin on my stomach, losing it slowly sure did help with the skin sagging! If I had an extra $8,000 lying around, I'd probably get a tummy tuck, but the only people who see it is me and my husband who doesn't care. My husband calls me "skinny mini", cuz my legs are stick thin. I think I look like a marshmallow held up by 2 toothpicks. He says to tell you that most men don't care about saggy skin either. If he's interested enough to date you, he's interested enough to sleep with you. Like you said, if he wants you in his life, he probably doesn't care. I'm so glad that real men aren't like the ones depicted on tv as only liking waif type girls. Most women wouldn't have a chance! Good luck! Marci

A 'Weenkie' in fact, still do and he's 15...LOL, my son still holds on to it...In fact, I asked him yesterday what he has done that he wouldn't want me knowing about (because we were having a laid back conversation and he was confessing that he used to play with fire when I was at work!!!!!) and he said, ummm...besides masturbating all the time!!! LOL he's a joker, but that was TMI

Both of these devices stopped my period....until now.... I'm 19 days post op and got my period 2 days ago...Unlucky, strange or normal considering what my body has been through? -

612belly posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Liquid BM but that is to be expected right? liquids in liquids out? It's was once last night and once this morning. I am getting in about 44oz of Water adding more G2 today just in case this is diarreha I don't want to get dehydrated. I'm hoping it is just my body's way of getting my small and large intestines back in the grove of things....moving!! I am eating no solids and plan to only follow my Doc's lead to avoid long term problems. Thanks! Pre surgery weight: 236 Day of surgery: 224 5 days post op: 223.4 and still bloated -
favorite NSV's/most anticipated NSV's
graylola replied to SerendipityHappens's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My favorite thing, above people saying I look better or seeing the numbers, is all the NSV you appreciate when you are so big that the little things become unbearably awkward. Car seatbelts fitting (especially where the cars yell at you when it’s not buckled). Flying without feeling mortified or getting a 2nd seat (haven’t done this yet, I was still nervous about my flight in November so I still got an extra seat – we’ll see how it goes). Not feeling like a beached whale when trying to roll out of bed. I won't get too TMI, but anyone who was at the point I was might understand when I talk about just general bathroom and bathing issues. Not constantly fearing that I’ll break every chair you sit in. I mean, really, Seating could be an entire NSV for me all on its own. Chairs, cars, airplanes, toilets, the booth/table issue, etc. Still looking forward to: Not shopping from online or Catherine’s. I’m just now getting to the point where Lane Bryant will fit me. Roller coaster rides. Taking up running. I was getting to the point where my mobility was severely impaired. I felt like I was dying walking from my office to my car, and I would leave later or earlier than my coworkers just to avoid them seeing how bad it was (though they knew). The freedom that comes from being able to want to do something or somewhere and actually doing it is the greatest thing in the world. I say “yes” to so many more activities now because I don’t have to worry about not being able to walk the distances required or fit in the seats that are there. -
1 Week Out Full Liquids And Puree
LorenaVaca replied to VerticalMorey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im 13 days post op and they do it to me every time. You can look at it two ways 1. As a bad thing or 2. As a "cleansing" product lol i rather it come out i know TMI so that i lose weight rather then for it to stay in and build up and me gain or stall :-\ idk it doesnt bother me too much cause i look at it as number 2 -
Oh, so THAT's what dumping feels like
USMCwifeandTEACHER replied to USMCwifeandTEACHER's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For me it was a very painful sense or urgency with violent, watery stools. TMI but just being honest. Totally not worth it. The only silver lining is that I lost about four ounces after I was done, lol. Is it sick that I weigh myself after taking a poo? -
Oh, so THAT's what dumping feels like
USMCwifeandTEACHER posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So... Before I start. YES, I ate bad stuff. YES, this was my fault. YES, I fell off the wagon, AGAIN, but I'm still losing, still in control 98% of the time, and still appreciative that I put myself through this. So before I got sleeved I discovered this new dessert: French Macarons. * sigh* Long story short. They're cute little egg white Cookies sandwiched together with jam, ganache' or buttercream in the center. I think they're good... they are. I was invited to party of someone who I'm trying to impress because I'm an intern in my graduate program. I knew these fancy cookies would be a hit and a conversation starter. I eat one...an hour later, I eat another. An hour later, I eat 1.5. My tummy gets upset. Like real upset. Then I get a headache, massive friggin headache. Then I leave because my bowels were getting angry with me. WOW, violent bathroom episode (I know, TMI), I hate macarons now. So... my body said, "okay girl, you don't believe you had surgery huh?" So that's dumping. -
Ok. Maybe a weird topic... But after surgery... What has everyone's poop been like. I know it might seem like tmi but like how often do you go, amount of poop color and consistency. Many stomach aches? I can go every day for several days in a row and then I can not go for a few days. My poop is often green but today I had an upset stomach and it was very dark green almost black. I went four times today and it was very liquidy. Since my surgery four months ago my bowel movements have never been like they used to... But I'm just wondering what everyone else is experiencing. I know I have messed up here and there and ate what I shouldn't or ate a bit too much... Could that be it? Thanks in advance.

October Sleevers - Who else
rensterness replied to clefofcividale's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Update On My Revision I Needed/had this Past Tuesday: Sorry for the delay, hospital stay was a tad longer then expected and haven't felt in tip top shape at all. I had my revision done on Tuesday. I am still a sleeve patient, once they got in they ended up 'anchoring' the sleeve and adjusting it. Sorry, things have been pretty hectic. I got home from hospital, and am slowly but surely recovering. The pain is worse then what I expected, but manageable with the happy pills they have given me, and they have given me permission to take them closer together do to the pain. I did have to have a balloon cath done on I believe day two (I'm a bit foggy, not sure exactly what day it was). It was a long drawn out process and they had to get 800, which took a lot of tugging, yanking, twisting, pulling, time and so on, tmi I know sorry, but I now have a very bad UTI to add on top on my revision. Because of my Lupus I am placed at higher risk for infection, and this of course happened. I'm doing okay though and sorry I haven't updated, just been hectic with recently getting home from hospital and testing and taking it easy. They had me released with a walker because I'm a bit unstable,and feel a tad fragile, but so glad to just be home.I am slowly but surely getting better though. Patience is a virtue :-) The revision I had is not compare able pain wise to when I got the sleeve, as this revision is very painful and I really did not expect it to be this bad. I am down over 110 pounds since my surgery date of October 7, 2013 and that's encouragement enough for me :-) No regrets what so ever! Everyone is doing awesome, keep up the good work and thanks a lot of all the thoughtful comments, thoughts and prayers. -
I had my surgery jan 22 2018, I am about to be 13 months out. (34year old, 5'7) What a journey. Started at 402lbs, a weight I now can't believe I had. it's crazy and unreal. My skin DOES reminds me that "hey you had that weight" but I am trying to have less floppy skin I wish I worked on it before but it's fine. And maybe tmi but also working on my breasts so they are less in a sad shape. I don't necessarily eat well and I probably eat less that I am supposed to but I am proud. 13 months ago i was at 323.4lbs, today I am at 187.8, sometimes i gained 1-4lbs, then i lose it back and lose some more. I only really had one plateau that lasted a month, i had some plateau that lasted a week or even two but after weight somewhat catched up, losing in general from 6lbs to 10-12lbs per month, I still got a few to lose to not be in "bmi overweight" but i am no longer in obesity. I am focusing more on my skin then my weight loss. I wouldn't say surgery changed my life, but yes it improved it. I sometime see myself bigger then I actually am. I am still afraid to sit in booth thinking I won't fit... yet i fit with space to go. my shirt size went from like 3x to M or L. picture of day of surgery at 323 and now

Sunday Marriott, Monday Hospital Mi Doctor

Only 4 days to get the thought of all that tubing out of my mind. I feel nauseous. Never thought I'd say this, but TMI IMO. -
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.
