Mrs. Whatsit 33 Posted April 5, 2014 Had to go to ER last night with trouble left side back pain. CT came back with 1 cm kidney stone. Home now, have to pass stone and deal with Constipation at same time. Help things look up soon! I am so sorry you're going through all this! I've had kidney stones and they're awful, plus if you take pain medication it will just make your constipation worse. I can only offer you positive thoughts and prayers and I feel so bad for you. Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't think of it making things worse. I was also given meds to pass stone. Hopefully it doesn't take too long.

CrazyJaney 775 Posted April 6, 2014 I had a stall from about day 12-25. I'm hesitant to say but I "think" it's breaking. It's frustrating. But they say they go away and to just stick to your plan.

But they say they go away and to just stick to your plan. Hang in there! Mine is finally breaking too. I was at 222 on day 6 (down a ton of weight. ) Then I was actually UP two more pounds. .. What the heck!!?! Now I am 221 as of this morning. .. day 19. The stall thing is very real. Glad it's going away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KajunGumbo 74 Posted April 9, 2014 Anyone attend support group meetings held by you Bariatric Surgeon office? Mine is held the first Tuesday of every month. I went but I don't know if I'll be returning. First it's kind of far from my house about 40 minutes, second it's held at 6 PM. I loved hearing the success stories of veterans Sleevers, but I get that here on fb. Question and answers session was nice since the answers were relevant to my surgeon and his recommendations.

TheOldMeAgain 128 Posted April 9, 2014 I actually got a call this morning asking me did I want to join my surgeon Bariatric Support Group. They had a meeting coming up next wk on Thursday. I declined this month but said I'll be interested in going next month. The issue is that unless it's a club I'm joining I don't like group meetings. Especially if it revolves around me talking about my personal problems. My psychologist tried to get me to go to group therapy. I shut her down fast on that one. It's not for me. Maybe I'll check out the support group just to see what it's all about. 1 Mrs. Whatsit reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Susan-031314 179 Posted April 10, 2014 I'm in the DFW metroplex. At my hospital, the Bariatric nurse gave me a listing of numerous local groups and their current meeting dates. I've been to one meeting and though it was dealing with subject matter further down the road than I am today, I did get some good info. It was good for me to see real people doing the same thing that I am. There were men and women at different stages, even goal. There are stats, I hear, that people who are active in a group will be more successful. I know that when I'm in a program, if I am more active with the group, I have been more successful. Don't judge all groups by the one that you attended. Check for more in your area. I bet you will find one that is beneficial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melissa031014 7 Posted April 10, 2014 Just attended my first group meeting last night...it was good and will try to go as much as possible. Even thought I don't like sharing my issues. I was ok talking and there was not much people. 2 Mrs. Whatsit and Susan-031314 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleevie.wonder 306 Posted April 10, 2014 Attending a support group was actually a pre-op requirement for me. I really enjoyed sitting and listening to everyone. I'd love to go again now that I am post-op but it just doesn't work with my work schedule Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
