I had my sleeve Dec. 20th. I have lost 25lbs. I have stalled this last week. I have been having a lot of pain. I feel like I have a band of pain around me just under my rib cage. It hurts to breath in an out. My doctor suggested I was constipated which I have been and to take Milk of Magnesia. My stomach had been bloated and even my intestines hurt. I am running a fever about 100 degrees which I take tylenol for an it breaks, I am having bad back pain and feel nausia all the time. It hurt to eat and not eat. I am very scared. My doctor 's nurse was not happy that I had not lost 25lbs instead of 30lbs., I am so depressed does it get better. I just read the info you all posted on Splenda and so I think I will stop using that. I am still stuggling with any food. I have bad food allergies so no milk, no sea food, no oats, no chicken. I can stand a little Peanut Butter on a wheat cracker but everything hurts. I an on soy protien and soy milk an I can barely swallow them. I can eat some cream of wheat . All food make me nausiais. I can['t stand the smell even. Everything tastes too strong. I am worried about the fevers it s been going on over a week now and the pain in my abdoman goes up and down in my sides. I don't know what to do, I am probably doing something wrong but what?

If you still have pain and a fever I would call your doctor or go to the emergency ASAP. It could be a leak, I don't want to scare you but I think you should get seen by somebody. Don't worry about the weightloss for now, that will come, just make sure you find out what's going on inside, and keep us posted, good luck!

You need to get them to do an upper GI on you to confirm one way or the other.

Yes, INSIST that your doctor do a full workup on you. None of this is normal, and you need your doctor to properly diagnose what is going on. And frankly, shame on him for not insisting you come in right away!! I'm sorry you are going through this, and I hope it gets better soon!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
