  1. Hi there! What is the link to your blog!
  2. Hi there! YES!! My surgeon required a gall bladder ultrasound a few days before surgery so that if it looked like I had stones or developing problems, he could take it out at the time of surgery. Good luck to you and congratulations on your surgery!!
  3. Hi there! I'm no doctor, but I did the same thing - since you were just sleeved last week, I think it's all the meds that have been pumped in your body for surgery and pain. It will subside, I promise, as your body gets rid of all of the chemicals. Good luck!!!
  4. Hi there, I have been through every reflux medicine there is and the best one for me by far is Zegerid. It's OTC and is 20mg each pill, and I take two. Works perfect. Hope this helps!
  5. Hi there! I am a newbie and only in my second week but I had a TERRIBLE time with any shakes that I had to mix with water. The foam made me extremely nauseous so I tried some from Unjury that you mix with milk and I am not having any trouble at all with those. Unfortunately, you have to spend tons of money to find the right one but Unjury has a starter pack where you get a couple of packets of several flavors. Hopefully, this helps! Good luck to you!!!
  6. Hi Everyone! I was sleeved this past Monday and have done very well but my question is this: What would cause the incision site where the drain is to start hurting? It seems like the first couple of days I couldn't feel it at all, then it seemed a little sore like maybe I pinned the bulb to my clothes in the wrong place and now I have wincing pain during any movement. There is no change in the discharge, no fever, no unusual redness, any ideas? Since it is the weekend, I hate to call the answering service and my appointment to have this thing removed is Tuesday anyway but if there is something wrong then I don't want to wait until Tuesday either. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Susan
