I was sleeved 3/11 I'm now 61. Had a sliding esophageal hernia. (in abdomen and chest-) That was the worst part. . Doing well right now. Going on 6 weeks. I feel for you and your band. I had a hard time with deciding to go with a band or do the sleeve. I did have 2 drains for 10 days. I am still glad I chose the sleeve! Message me--I will be happy to share experience.

How are you doing? Did the fatty liver clear up? I have one too. My BMI is 38, and I will have surgery in the September/October timeframe. My understanding is that you have to lose all the excess weight for the body to remove the fat from the liver too.

Thanks for sharing these kinds of wonderful discussions. In addition, the optimal travel as well as medical insurance strategy can often ease those worries that come with travelling abroad. A new medical emergency can rapidly become too expensive and that's sure to quickly impose a financial load on the family finances. Having in place the ideal travel insurance package deal prior to leaving is worth the time and effort. Cheers phenergan necrosis

Update: I was sleeved Sept. 26th. The doctor told me the fatty liver and sleep apnea will take 3 - 4 months to go away.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
