Day 5 post op

[wd33 6]

Things have been going good UNTIL GOUT Came on day three It has killing me way more than the new lifestyle change... Wish I had done more research pre-op so I could have expected it .... Hope today the meds will wash it away ... Other than that doing fine just experimenting with the sleeve to see the likes / dislikes ..

First time I heard of the sleeve causing gout and I have done a lot of research in the past 2 yrs. my husband has gout. If you are put on the right medications you will be fine. It is caused from high uric acid. He was told no alcohol or organ meats. He is not a drinker so that is not a problem. Did you dr say it was related to the surgery?

No I have had gout in the past .. 1 of of the side affects to drastic weight lose is frequent gout flair ups..
