I would call the doctor if pain is getting worse. I have not heard anyone say pain got worse.

Definitely call your surgeon if it's gotten worse. Personally I haven't had any pain at all, but worsening pain is a concern.

Very careful with pain after so many days as it could be something else. A call to surgeon’s office would not hurt.

I called 2x yesterday they told me it’s normal to be feeling pain but I’m gonna call again today since the nurse is in office and explain in detail. I did overdue it on Tuesday and yesterday I had a terrible day pushing from a BM situation so it could be both those things. I haven’t had to take my pain meds today but walking around is hard.

Update:went to the ER and everything is fine they did a cat scan and bloodwork. Nothing abnormal. Just said I have to work through the pain.

Glad to hear it's nothing serious. I started taking a Fiber supplement (Metamucil) once a day to help with the BM, it helps greatly, especially at first when Protein is pretty much all we're eating.

I have also been taking fiber daily since surgery. It helps a lot!!

Hi I am very new to this forum. I had my gastric sleeve done on 15/apr/21

pre op weight :299 lbs

Current. Weight : 272 lbs.

weight loss 27 lbs

somehow I feel my weight loss is not as much as others who had surgery near when I had mine. The whole of last week I have lost less than 1 lb :(

Is anyone facing such an issue ? I am feeling so low now

[Bree68 3]

gym but my surgeon says I’m doing great you will too hang in there

27 lbs is a lot, it’s tremendous, your body is in shock and getting used to its new system. Give your self a break. Almost 30 lbs in less than a month !

I think that is amazing.

Thank you ! I am desperately hoping that my body wouldn’t just give up ... I had a chat with my dietitian yesterday and she was very encouraging too. Can’t believe the scales are not budging for the past 7 days ...
