Have you called your doctor to get their opinion on your progress? I understand that everyone's progress is different, but this doesn't sound normal to me.
When you say protein hurts... are you...

Thanks guys!
The bruises went away several days after we went to his post op, btw :)
Thanks everyone :)
My husband's name is Matt, by the way, lol.
And my husband has lost 28 pounds!
Granted, I think some of that is just loss of fluid from water retention over the holidays... but still. He's 18 down from his lowest recent pre-surgery...
I do, and so does my husband, but I haven't had the surgery, and he just had his a week ago.
I still think you would do better cost wise finding somewhere that you could buy the CPAP outright. ...
My husband had his at Kennestone Hospital in Marietta last week under Dr Dennis C Smith.
I would call the surgeon's office and ask.
My husband's surgeon didn't ask him whether or not he was using his CPAP... I think they wanted to know if he had sleep apnea so they would know...
Today is one week since surgery, and my husband got so bored on Friday (first full day home from hospital) that he asked me to take him to Wal Mart the very next day so we could have somewhere to...
Thanks everyone :)
No, I'm not afraid of him at all. I just didn't want to agitate him because my goal that day was to minimize his suffering, not do anything to make him feel worse, no matter...
My husband's surgeon always checks his patient's gallbladder to see if it needs to be removed. Oftentimes he will go ahead and remove it if he can get to it easily (everyone's anatomy is a little...
My husband just had his done last week. He was in first thing Wednesday morning and was out by Thursday evening. He would have gone home earlier in the day Thursday if he hadn't been having a hard...
Most doctors will require some kind of weight loss plan before bariatric surgery because, as others pointed out, it shrinks the liver to make the operation easier. DH met someone who did not follow...
I may just be emotional right now because of how stressed I was this week, but I'm on the verge of tears right now with relief for how well my husband is doing today and warm fuzzies in my tummy with...
I was afraid that my husband was going to get upset with me, because I had something to say during pretty much every discussion he had at the hospital with a doctor, nurse, assistant, nutritionist,...
I'm so relieved to have him sleeping in our bed. In fact, I was so happy to be taking him home tonight that I was almost giddy at the pharmacy- even when they told me how much 5 out of his 6...
Wow! I'm so glad someone called the ambulance for you! Are you still feeling okay?
Thanks for posting this. I needed to hear about this!
Thanks everyone! My husband is doing much better now... The doctor still isn't sure why he was throwing up exactly, but as long as he is able to hold down liquids, the doctor isn't concerned. Hubby...
Welcome!
My husband just had his done yesterday, so I can't comment on personal experience yet. But I do know that many here have had great success in a relatively short time.
Generally speaking, anything that helps weight loss helps with fertility problems. As far as other symptoms, I'm not sure.
For those of you who have had the sleeve or another bariatric surgery, did you vomit much during recovery? Now that I've gone and bragged on how well my husband has done today, he has thrown up...
Thanks so much everyone!
So far he's doing amazingly well. He had a little problem with nausea earlier this afternoon, but that seems to be under control now. He has gotten up for two very short...
Thanks, but my husband is the one having surgery. My ticker show
s
my progress because it keeps me motivated :)
Thanks everyone! His surgeon is Dr Dennis C Smith out of Marietta, Ga.
My husband has to be at the hospital at 6:30 am so he can be in the OR by 8:30.
I'm more nervous than he is, lol.
Actually, I'm more nervous about the procedure. He's more nervous about...
DH has a cough that has been ongoing for weeks... I finally talked him into taking the list of medicines he has to avoid pre-surgery to our pharmacist, who was able to recommend a cough medicine that...
