There is a good chance, especially if the pain is on both sides, that the pain is from laying down in the hospital bed for a couple days after surgery and from laying on the operating table during surgery.

You should let your surgeon know about the symptoms right away.Especially if the symptoms were on only one side, then the…

Since you will eat less food because of the sleeve gastrectomy, you may have stool less often, and the stool may be more soft or loose than it…

Hello,I am a board-certified, fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon.The best time to do plastic surgery after weight loss surgery is after the maximum weight loss has occurred and the weight is stable. This usually happens 1-2 years after bariatric surgery. Like you mentioned, your original BMI of 32 is fairly low, and you’re close to your goal weight of 150 lbs. Since it’s only been 3 months since your sleeve gastrectomy, you’ll probably still lose more weight. Once…
