Hello there!
I just had bariatric surgery one week ago due to two large hernias that needed to be meshed & could not lose the weight! I was diagnosed with/Lynch syndrome & had an ooferectamy laparoscopically which created the larger hernia. It was recommended I have bariatric surgery to give me my life back!
I’m not sure what side affects you are speaking of.
I lost 14lbs prior to surgery (yes!) & 17 since the surgery.
I would say you really need to follow w/meds, portion control, & water intake to avoid constipation.
Exercising is right up there with nutrition & water!
I have had no dumping (so far) & walked around my block this morning!
