Go to Account then Profile, then MySurgery, then Trackers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m just a bit down in the dumps about having to put up with this pain especially at bedtime and all night long. I can’t get comfortable no matter what position I’m in. We’re you scheduled for Dec 30 and it was moved? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was originally supposed to have it BEFORE my WLS, but I was afraid Medicare might not cover both surgeries so close together, and WLS seemed more important to me, thinking as I started losing weight it might take pressure off those nerves, but it hasn’t. In fact it actually seems worse...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grammie2 37 Posted December 29, 2020 I must have a different iPad, or iPhone? Version, cuz I get to mysurgery and there is only 2 categories with it, and trackers isn’t one of them. Maybe I am using a different system, being Apple it’s IOS . I even tried it on my iPhone, both by the website, and the BariatricPal app. Neither has the tracker. But thanks for giving me that info. Maybe I need to go on the main computer to get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lanie Hardy 30 Posted December 29, 2020 6 hours ago, Grammie2 said: It’s a nerve burn in my back that will stop the pain in my lower back and down my legs, on both sides, although my left side is worse than the right. I haven’t asked about pain meds yet. I still have some Tylenol with codeine left from my gastric bypass I’ve been hanging on to . I had been on Celebrex before my GP, but had to go off because of it being an NSAID. So my lower back nerves have really gotten agitated in the last 2 months. Thank you for asking. I afraid they won’t give it to me if I ask for something stronger. I’m taking cyclobenzaprine but it only makes me tired and doesn’t help with the pain. That is so annoying! Nerve pain is the worst! My goes down my legs. I take 10-325 Percocet every 5.5 hours or I wouldn’t survive. Can you see a pain specialist? My GP won’t prescribe either. I’m so sorry!!

I have an iPhone as well but yes, I find I can only change my weight on the computer and not on my phone? I did all the setup and tracker on the computer so yes, you are right! There must be a way but I can’t figure it out either!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m hoping he will give me Percocet as well, but drs. Are afraid of getting sued these days for making addicts of us all. I had some OLD pills that were 30-325, and some that were 5-325. I had the stronger ones left from kidney stones. I’m gonna call today. I took one 5-325 along with another 325 Tylenol last night and it was the first I had ANY RELIEF FOR AGES.

Luna805 69 Posted December 29, 2020 Hey everyone! Survived the holiday, my first stall and down 32 lbs this morning. 6 weeks post op and started exercising this week. hair shedding started right away and finally slowed a bit this week. Not noticeable unless you see my bathroom shower wall afterwards 😂. How is everyone doing?? Steamed green Beans & sautéed mushrooms have been a favorite recently.
