    Loose Skin

    Yeah I've heard of people doing that, I just want to find something that actually works because I really don't want a tuck.

    May to December Transformation!

    You look amazing!
  5. You sound exactly like I did a week ago, but I ended up finding an acid reducer that works and got an endoscopy. They ended up dilating my esophagus and poor pain is gone when I eat. You might have tightening around the opening to your sleeve. As for the bile, as for actigall, it's a prescription to decrease the amount of bile produced and prevents gallstones. Good luck!

    I Definitely Regret Surgery.... So Far!

    They ended up doing an endoscopy and dilating my esophagus a little, I feel so much better and have been able to eat without discomfort

    Esophageal Dilation

    Has anyone here had it? It was confirmed that I have a narrowing of the distal portion of my esophagus. My endoscopy is this morning at 8 and I'm a nervous wreck. I can't sleep and I'm worrying too much. If it's not as scary as it sounds can someone please calm my nerves? What can I expect?

    Hate eating

    I do at times too, but I think most of the problem is I don't get a full sensation.

    Bionic Smell?

    Have any of you experienced issues with taste? I seem to dislike the taste of anything I eat, especially sugary things(which is good), but it is a little disappointig because nothing tastes good(except for fruit).

    alcohol

    If only each doctor were on the same page, it seems like one doctor tells you this is ok and the other says absolutely not.

    Esophageal Dilation

    Yep I did fine, I'm still sleepy from the anesthesia but I'm happy that I haven't had any discomfort eating today!

    Esophageal Dilation

    So they ended up finding nothing, told me I had a stricture but then they didn't find one, so the scope ended up stretching my esophagus a little and my discomfort is gone. Glad it wasn't as bad as they thought.

    You have me feeling so much better right now, you sounded exactly like I do now. I was recently told that I have a stricture, it's excruciating to eat and I want to feel normal again. It's hit me so bad that I've sunk into a depression, I very rarely get out of bed and I'm in a funk because I don't feel normal. I'm glad you're doing better.

    Esophageal Dilation

    I'm more worried about afterwards, I've read articles that say that it's almost certain that vomiting and nausea occur after the procedure and I'm already miserable enough so I don't want to deal with that either.
  18. I still have about 30 until my goal

    When is the right time to try?

    Thanks ladies, my wedding is in May and within a year of that we'd like to get pregnant so I'm going to see what the doc says.

    Reactive vs Proactive Thinking, Action & Responses

    If calling people idiots and telling them they should be ashamed of themselves is tough love in your eyes, then I really hope you're not a parent.

    It's normal, I had that for the first few weeks.

    Well "grown-up" people wouldn't be as rude and snobby as many are on here, it's a support forum keep that in mind.
