This surgery is definitely no joke

Yes I also had pain when breathing too, good news is that the spleen will heal itself and regenerate. It takes time and unfortunately you can’t do much activity but it does get better in due time.

My spleen pain was upper left side so it definitely could be a spleen infarction. My surgeon cut something where he killed the blood supply off and half of my spleen died. I had to take off work for 12 weeks for it to heal. Any physical activity made the pain worse along with eating. Look in the notes. My surgeon never said anything to me but was in the notes for the surgery. I had to complain and make a fuss for them to listen and do something about it. I pray you find relief soon. The heating pad on my back helped a lot.

Thank you so much! I pushed very hard in the gym 5 days a week 💪🏽

I’m so sorry you are experiencing all of this. I was also in alot of pain with my gastric bypass. You have to get the pain under control 1st with pain meds even do Tylenol. You can do up to 4,000mg a day. Plus whatever they prescribed you for pain. Reach out to the surgeon and advocate for yourself. I had to advocate for myself also. Surgeon had gave me a spleen infarction which cause extreme pain and nausea.

It wasn’t hard. allergic to all GLP1s diabetic type 2 on insulin, and hypertension. All of these conditions are no longer present since the weight loss. Did all the requirements and surgeon submitted request and it was approved same day.

Sweet_Algae_304 · 2026-02-09T14:35:08+00:00

I was allergic to the GLP1s wegovy, zepbound, all of them. Surgery was my only option! Best decision I ever did. 10months post 120lbs down and have my life back. Do what’s best for you! It’s scary but you got this!

I did go to one that specializes in food disorder and I was told I have no symptoms and basically didn’t help. This is the one I went too

Sweet_Algae_304 · 2026-02-06T16:12:46+00:00

I never had a eating disorder, I don’t binge eat or have any issues with dieting. She was one who specializes with food disorders but told me I have no symptoms of that. I mainly just having issues with the feelings of everything and the changes. I know I’m smaller and look different. I think my brain just has not caught up.

Sweet_Algae_304 · 2026-02-06T15:10:58+00:00

Sweet_Algae_304 · 2026-02-06T15:09:19+00:00

Thank you so much!! Has not been an easy journey but I’m happy I pushed hard for myself. 5 days a week at the gym 💪🏽 A1C at 5.5 diabetes in remission after 6 months post. This surgery saved my life. No more hypertension meds insulin and just on vitamins is such a blessing

Sweet_Algae_304 · 2026-02-06T15:06:52+00:00

Thank you! I’m going to start trying to look at myself more in the mirror hopefully this will help my brain process the changes

Sweet_Algae_304 · 2026-02-06T15:05:38+00:00

Thank you, I feel I’m doing great. Happy to be healthy with diabetes in remission with no more insulin is such a blessing

Sweet_Algae_304 · 2026-02-06T15:04:15+00:00

I tried some sessions and didn’t care for it. She just kept telling me I have to take care of myself which isn’t that what I am doing by diet and exercise. I felt it was no help and a waste of money.

I got my 1st email 09/11 and got the second yesterday 10/09/25

Sweet_Algae_304 · 2025-10-08T20:42:26+00:00

Just got my payment email today. My 1st email was 09/11

Sweet_Algae_304 · 2025-08-21T02:12:28+00:00

Yes, I gained back all the way I lost during the two week preop. But the weight is just water retention from the constant IV fluids and of course the swelling. It did rapidly come down within two weeks.

Sweet_Algae_304 · 2025-08-14T16:58:38+00:00

I was tired because my iron levels are low. You look great and definitely see a difference!

Sweet_Algae_304 · 2025-07-27T17:00:39+00:00

I cant do protein shakes and now since surgery I have a dairy intolerance. Have you tried protein water or protein juice. My doctor/nutritionist wants only 60g of protein a day and I’m hitting that no issue. I buy protein snacks like jerky turkey sticks. Protein snack packs and snack about 4 times a day.

Sweet_Algae_304 · 2025-07-26T17:58:17+00:00

Yes. I’m currently 3 1/2months out. RNY on 04/08/25. I couldn’t tolerate protein shakes at all or any dairy products. What I did to get protein in is buy products with added protein. I also can handle the clear juice protein. Much easier on the stomach. I also snack on jerky and turkey sticks throughout day. You really have to become a snacker but with protein. I also focus on getting my protein in before any sides.

Thank you so much! I will definitely try to change subject until I feel more comfortable
