KristenLe 5,979 Posted November 4, 2016 I'm 2 weeks out . Lost 28 lb that's in 3 week , including pre op diet. Have not lost anything in my 2nd week which is freaking me out! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App It's very common. 28lbs is slot of weight to lose - your body is adjusting. Just stick with the plan. Stay off the scale!

Rhonda Woodfine 7 Posted November 4, 2016 No, I haven't had any tests at all post-op. I have to say though, that I think it may have been my hemorrhoids bleeding, they do that quite often. If I had a leak I would be extremely unwell, tachycardia, tachypnea (high heart rate and respiratory rate), hypertensive initially - as a nurse I know I feel too well to have a major leak at this point, but that's not to say it couldn't happen in the future! I will ask my dr about some evaluation though - I didn't have a swallow study either! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dee~Dee 107 Posted November 4, 2016 How do I give a thumbs up or add a new post on here? I want to give you all a "thumbs up" simply for taking the bull by the horns and making your future healthy self a reality! I'm an RN, 9 days out VSG, nothing but problems - I spent an extra 4 days in hospital due to nausea/pain spasms, came home for 3 days, back in the ER yesterday having IV fluids, spent last night having major diarrhea with my first bowel movement in 10 days (curse you, Milk of Magnesia!) and lost around a liter of RED Fluid, now it's morning and I'm feeling a lot better. Yes I know I lost blood from somewhere and I should have gone back to the ER but at 4am I just couldn't do it - I'd had enough of hospitals. More diarrhea just now is a normal color. Anyone else on here having bowel trouble? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Thanks for sharing. I hope you feel much better real soon!
