FDclerical

thank you so much for reading and actually responding lol ! i never heard of it either until he mentioned it, then i started googling it and searching on here and its more common than i thought. due to my surgery being 4 years ago and my surgeon being in Connecticut i'm not sure WHEN it happened. but i have to say the sharp pain underneath my left breast AND a little pop feeling when i bend down a certain way, lifting, doing intense cardio and situps could contribute to my awareness. i don't think it's twisted all the way around but more like a "fold" if that makes sense. the x rays were a little confusing but my new surgeon now didnt really elaborate but he said he hopes that it alleviates the pain only and gerd and i'm feeling hopeful!

Im in a similar situation. I have not had surgery yet, as i will have my 2nd consult soon. I have gerd, have had it for years and when the surgeon and I discussed it he said, " well if you get reflux you always can convert to bypass". I was,a bit frustated with that comment and, I said, "No, at 58 years old im only doing this once". He said 1/3 of sleeve patients will still have gerd, and he has been seeing sleeve patients 3 to 4 years out with severe gerd and going the revision route because its very bad and happens daily. Thats why I decided the bypass route. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App 4 years sleeve post op. Had slight heartburn before my sleeve but nothing like this....I had an upper g.i. on Tuesday to find out the Fluid comes right back up and my sleeve has a slight twist in it I had a miscarriage last year and my gerd is now out of control. Submitting for bypass revision Nov 19th. I hope u feel better. I've taken allllll the medicines possible. I even went with natural remedies. Baking soda and apple cider vinegar to help. But it's useless. Im looking forward to relief and losing the last bit I have to hit goal. I still do not regret my sleeve !!!!! Sent from my Z981 using the BariatricPal App

So good to hear from you and glad u are doing well and out of pain !!! Head hunger sucks !!! Is it extremely easy to get full with bypass opposed to sleeve ??? Im sure it is but I wonder how different the restriction feels.. Sent from my Z981 using the BariatricPal App

My new surgeon says I have Twisted sleeve slightly up top and massive heartburn. Upper g.i. Showed my sleeve to be very large and Fluid coming back up but luckily not all the way into the esophagus. Mental.eval on the 17th then submitting for approval for revision vsg to bypass. Nervous but ready to be our of this pain !!! Sent from my Z981 using the BariatricPal App

Hope it all goes great praying for u sis !! Sent from my Z981 using the BariatricPal App

I take omeperozole and I also use diluted apple cider vinegar, baking soda and alkta seltzer chewables. All the relief is only temporary and it's depressing the pain I'm in literally but don't let anyone discourage you because everyones body is completely different. Im just saying out of the 4 years post op last year it got the most intense when i got pregnant and had a miscarriage and has never been the same since. Upper GI. nov 8th can't wait for a solution alot of people don't understand those are the ones I've had to dismiss out of my life . Sent from my Z981 using the BariatricPal App

I love mine, I even use it for an alarm, it vibrates to wake me up. During the day, if I have less than 250 steps in an hour, it will vibrate to remind me to move. I work in an office and sometimes I do forget. My goal is 10,000 a day. I bought my Alta at Target. It was $129.00 and it's blue. That's the price I found too on Amazon. I will definitely love the reminder to move. I also have a desk job and get so involved sometimes then realize I've haven't moved for hours!!

I can't add you from her but can u try to add me on your end ????? I hope everything goes perfect for you on Friday and you'll be in. My prayers. I have my upper g.i for Nov 8th but I called the hospital today looking for a sooner date. It's been a serious battle. I lost 100lbs and gained back 30 in the past 2 years between the death of my father and sister 9 months apart and a miscarriage and divorce life happened. But I never gave up I still workout and eat as clean as possible ugh I just know there's light at the end of the tunnel and I have to be grateful for the progress I've made and for Bariatric pal still being here 4 years later .
