I am currently 14 months out and have lost a total of 125 lbs and still losing. About a week now my body has been hurting so badly especially my legs. Today I can hardly get out of bed. I also have issues with my hemoglobin and had one blood transfusion already. Does anyone experience this and if so why is it happening to me?

Omg... yes! I have not posted in ages but I saw this and wanted to let you know that the same thing has been going on with me. I have been suffering from body pain as well. It is hard for me to do most things on a daily basis. I feel extremely weak as well. I have not required a blood transfusion but I did come up low on bloodwork so I am anemic and have low Iron and hemoglobin. I only started having these issues after gastric bypass. I originally had gastric sleeve in 2012 and did not feel this way. I had to have a revision last year in 2016 due to severe gerd and I have regreted it ever since.

I had gastric bypass 6-16 and was sick in the beginning to be expected however as I began to lose weight I had tons of energy. I would wake early in the day and walk like crazy drinking tons of Water. One day out of the blue I couldn't get out of bed and have been sick ever since. I had a transfusion Bc I had a bleeding ulcer. Now this past week I can hardly move. I keep trying to get help but the Drs I see keep pushing me back to my surgeons office which I no longer care for. Also I am still unable to eat and can't ever go out Bc I get so weak and tired. My surgery was also Bc of severe gerd.

I also ended up with an ulcer and I have the hardest time eating red meat and chicken...iy seems I can only do fish and even veggies get stuck (cauliflower and broccoli) if they are not cooked to a mistake. My surgery was 6/22 last year and I have been miserable since. I don't know if I would have just rather kept the GERD but it was really bad too. At least I was able to eat better and had way more energy. Now I'm just sick and weak all the time and in pain and most things cause me abdominal pain. I feel like a 78 year old.😔

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
