I am 17 days out from lap RNY and had been improving daily. Today was my first day back at work and I was doing fine until I got out of the truck and got the sudden, searing, tkae the wind out of you pain on that lower left side where they suture the muscle. Had been feeling pretty good,almost off pain meds, and now boom! Abdominal binder on to see if that will help and taking the high dose of pain med. Blah! Ready to feel better!

Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!

I think I am down about 22 lbs but have my period too so go figure! you are just melting away!!!!! Support group tomorrow night I think but my daughter has a band thing so I'm not sure I can make this month. You must have hit the stall where your body finally says WTH did you do to me? The scale will move again soon!

Crap I hit report instead of reply! Sorry mandylu! Thanks for letting me know I am not alone. I figure it's just a stumbling block but it sure isn't fun!

Contact your surgeon or other surgeons who do bariatric surgery in your area. They should have regular meetings. Mine only has it once a month. Some are more often. But you don't have to be a patient of the surgeon to attend--at least not here. Some of the hospitals have them as well, but I know the one here, it is during the work day and so I have never been there. But it is for anyone to attend.

HTH!
