  2. Tomorrow I will be 3 weeks post op. My stomach muscles are still tender. Is this normal?
  3. Thanks everyone! My healing has been great except for this. I was wondering if this would become the "norm". Glad to know it might go away. All of these new sensations are hard to read.

  5. Thanks for replying! I am taking Pepcid 2x's a day. My doc's office today told me to try that for a few days and if it doesn't help they will give me something else. I am not drinking from a straw, and I'm drinking slowly. I hope this doesn't last.

  7. Was sleeved on 3/11 so 7 days post op. Today I've had heart burn all day! Is this something forever now, or just something common post op. It hurts so much. I felt great yesterday. Today not so much!
  8. Yes. I have phenergran suppositories. I threw up from my sleeping pill I think.

  10. I'm 3 days post off and have vomited about 6 times. I'm scared I'm going to rip open my new sleeve. Anyone has trouble with nausea and vomiting?
  11. So very sorry for your loss! I can't even imagine to know what you're going through. Sending healing energy and prayers your way.
  12. Thanks!! I really appreciate that!! Ready to get this done!!
  13. I'm all set and ready for surgery on 3/11. I am soooo scared though. How are you sure you are making the right decision?

  16. I my doc likes to use a 36 bougie. Is that to big? I reading about a lot of size 32's?
  17. Thank you for posting this. As of now, this will be my 3rd time chickening out. I'm ready this time.....I think. I'm still scared to death, and wondering if I'm making the right decision. I guess the only way to find out is to do it. I hope I'm making the right choice.
  18. So it's safe to say you don't regret having the surgery!? I'm still pre op and scared to death!
  19. M still pre op and Can't stand protein shakes. I've tried many, and I think they're all gross. What will happen after I have my surgery in January if I still can't stomach drinking them ?! Are there other options?
