So glad to see u r doing better. . And sorry for negative people , it is important for others to hear all your story and iggy. Cuz things don't always go as planned .

Now I want subway ! Love it. Usually I remove one bread. But this scooped idea is awasome. Thanks guys

I do what space dust says take a sip in my mouth then transfer. When I try drink from a cup I take too much at a time and hurts even now at 9 mths out. Just be careful and don't gulp.

Keep me posted please. Would be something I would have to consider

My reflux got way way worst with sleeve and I am 9 mths out and still have it. If I eat to close to bed I have very bad Reflux almost to point if choking a few times on it. Very scary stuff. I am in Prilosec twice a day. I do sleep on a wedge pillow and that has seems to help. My doc did say by pass was option. But. Just can't do it. I will repeat an endoscopy in a year to make sure my reflux has not caused damaged. As my surgeon said long turn un controlled reflux can lead to esophageal cancer. Mine according to my gi doc was a side effect of the band. It stretched out the upper part of my stomach. So says my sleeve is deformed and I had a pouch on upper part of sleeve and that food sits there. Do I refer sleeve hell no. I can eat normal again. Just sad that I have this problems and worried about my future. I read in a post about wheat beinf a problem and causing reflux. I had not heard of that. Anyone?

So sorry for your troubles. My surgeon almost always does conversion same day. He says to keep you from going under again. Just that we have to be extra vigilant. I was converted in summer and have been doing good other than bad reflux. But even with that I feel so much better and enjoy food better now. Yes I have lost very little weight but I have a better relationship with food . ( too good ). The slow weight loss is common with low bmi ( I was 33). So I hope u find comfort here and you can always inbox any of us individuals if u need a shoulder to lean on.

Thank you. as I suffer of both. And was previously banded as well. This article was very informative.

And I go to Ricardo every couple if months. And you are right. Not many from here

I had a small stone before surgery md just said I would have to drink more fluid post sleeve. Well let me tell u with four days of iv fluid the darn thing passes. A week post op I started having bloody urine saw my urologist three times had an ultrasound then a ct because back pain would not subside. Turns out no more kidney stone . They think all the iv fluids and peeing every two hours passed it. Mine was a small one. But it is something to mention to md
