Ok, weird stuff. I feel great, out two months and have lost 69lbs so far. A couple of days ago my belly button became quite soar though. Anyone else have this happen before?

Have you been lifting anything heavy? The belly button is the main surgical spot so if you have been lifting anything heavy you might have strained it, I had the same problem but after about a month after surgery I was lifting things I wasn't supposed to over 10lbs.

I am 7 weeks out and started having pain around bb ( i had single incusion through bb) then liquid started leaking out the i could push around it and fill it up with blood. Went to hosp got ct no abcess seen but they suspected it was the start of a subcutaneous abcess. So put on anti biotics then saw surgeon he cauterized it 6 days ago and its still leaking he says its a suture being pushed out from my body and if it doesnt heal will need second surgery to remove that bad boy

I had some minor pain with mine the other day, around 6 weeks out. I thought I might have started getting a leak and freaked out, but no other symptoms came and the pain passed in a day or two. I think I lifted something too heavy at work. I offered to pick up a bunch of pans and I think I strained something. :/

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
