Never smoked weed and I'm 70 years old. Your question is excellent, No one should be branded in this site as "good" or evil". Prayers of support.

I was diagnosed with an ulcer a year ago and was sent home with Nexium and other medicines too. . Of course Gerd was diagnosed several years earlier .... But, because of the continuous pain in my stomach I was scoped again two weeks ago and was given a new diagnoses ; Barrett's esophagus. My weight because of depression medication has caused a weight increase- to my starting weight 6 years ago. UGH... Would I do it again, yes but would follow the strict regiment and support groups. Neither of these were offered me at the time because of my remote area I live.

First, I never regretted having the sleeve nearly two years ago. I went from a size 1x pant to now a size 14. I was doing ok for the first six months, but then started on antipressants and the weight loss stopped . I hoped to drop down to a size 8 by now, but it's not happening. I can't eat a lot, but that's ok. Although I have just recently started to get some control over eatting to fast...something that has haunted me forever. I feel after reading many comments, I will make an appointment with my surgeon to see what must be done to start the weight loss once again.

I am new to this forum and was sleeved July 15. My head is not real straight and can't do the searches like I normally do - quick and fast.. But for the life of me I can't find what is the basic Vitamin Requirement for a Sleeved -- post surgically patient. Right now I am taking Source of Life Gold liquid.
