I hate to feel so negative but I regret this surgery so much and I feel like everyone was right when they said don't do it I've been sick as a dog I vomit everyday sometimes this nasty yellow stuff and my stomach can't handle anything without it coming back up I've been checked for a leak but everything came back fine and my doctor said its acid and we have switched my ppi's 3 times nothing seems to be working I just wanna feel normal again and I've been throwing up so much my 2 yr old knows when I'm about to get sick sry just needed to vent I don't know how much longer I can take this :-(

Hi , I am slowly doing better I have no leaks or strictures my problem was just acid reflux and air pockets , but because I basically went 2 months without eating or getting in my protein and vitamins I've developed a problem with walking on my own I loose my balance and fall so I urge everyone new no matter how bad you feel get your protein and vitamins down !!!!

Thanks Everyone I'm actually on my way back to Dr Aceves today hoping to get fixed or see what's going on my best advice is hope for the best / prepare for the worse because everyone is different !!!!! Goodluck on your journey I def. Don't wanna discourage anyone !!!!!

Hi Everyone, I had surgery June 2nd and I have been struggling a lot with nausea and the thought of anything makes me gag I gave told my doctor and they say its related to acid so I'm on generic prilosec 2x a day and gaviscon in the afternoon but nothing is helping me I can't get my protein or really anything down and I've already been to er and had to get iv fluids and they gave me zofran but it doesn't seem to work much I also had a cat scan of my stomach which showed no leaks I am really feeling like things are never going to get better anyways if there is anyone who can relate and has advice on what helped them pls let me know also has anyone else had trouble with prilosec not working and if so what antacid worked for you ? I'm 4 weeks post-op !!!!

Thanks everyone I really just wanna give up that's how awful I feel :-(

Hi Everyone, I was sleeved June 2nd and I really haven't been taking great care of myself I started working over night and since then I'm having trouble with getting my fluids and protein in and I keep forgetting to take my vitamins I feel nauseous all the time with no appetite and I'm really starting to wonder if this surgery was a mistake I miss being myself :-/ I still can't seem to find a protein shake I like out of the million I've tryed if anyone has any advice on how to manage everything I would really appreciate it , Thanks

Hi, I'm 3 weeks post-op and I hate everything about protein shakes and I need something asap could you please give me the info for eggface ?

You will love it , the only thing that irritated me a little was that the last day I was there we were supposed to go shopping and to the pharmacy and they never took us or told me I was allowed to walk over to the pharmacy for my meds so I didn't end up getting them just a little communication error so make sure you walk over and grab yours from.the pharmacy if you don't have insurance for them at home , goodluck :-)

You go girl you look great already I was just sleeved June 2nd and this gives me so.much inspiration :-)

Ok when ppl said the first month after surgery is the hardest part I def. Agree it sucks so bad watching everyone around you eat and not to mention its so hard to get all your fluids in and I'm so sick of jello and the thought of broth makes me nauseous sry I'm just venting I hope this time flys by :-(
