I had my 3 week post op appt yasterday and I was down 25 lbs. I was wondering what was everyones elses weight 3 weeks out? My doctor acted like he was not happy with it! I thought I was doing good. What are you all eating 3 weeks out? He still has me on clear liquids!!!! Until I am 6 weeks out.

Has anyone out there had the vertical gastric sleeve?   Mine was Nov. 6, and I have been nauseous almost every day since.  Is this unusual?

Rachel, it will get easier.  I have read 2 books about this and we are mourning the loss of something ---- FOOD!  :-)  I have not been hungry once just my head has been hungry ---- now with the band, I think you may actually feel hunger...not sure how that works!  Hang in there everyone!  :-)

I actually have a little pulling and stabby feeling just left of my navel too...Not near as bad as you describe though and mine is near one of my incisions so i figure its related.   I hope you feel better..and would definately call the surgeon in the am just to get a reading on it all.    And please take it easy...
maybe itis at a new connection or something but definately get some help right away if it gets any worse...Best of luck and keep up apprised!  Sue

OK week one I was doing awesome.  Now starting this past Monday I have had a burning pain in my lower left side.  This is lower then the belly button so not quite sure what they may have done down there.  Called the dr. twice and was told if it hurts too bad to go to the ER.  I dont want to go for something that is not an emergency and may be normal.  They also said it sounds like muscle burn.  If I reach, sneeze, cough, roll to the right I am on fire.  Now a dull pain in that same area just stays there with the burn if I do the wrong move.  I am suppose to go back to work Monday and dont see the DR. tell Thurs.  Anyone at all know what this could be or going thru it?  Help....
