I'm in Puyallup. I am about 2 1/2 weeks post op. Where are you at in the process?

Anyone in the Seattle Tacoma area out there?

Has anyone been sleeved through tricare? What were your thoughts on the process?

Are all NSAIDs no good forever after being sleeved?

Rick M, this is completely one of those situations with the differing opinion. I have a follow up with my primary care doctor but part of me doesn't feel to safe with what his answer will be. I think the best answer will have to be from my surgeon. I have long time back issues, which was the need for the surgery but along with that I have to treat the pain and inflammation I have now until that weight comes off. So we will see what the consensus is....

I had a really bad problem with this!!! Drink some Gatorade, switch it with water. And LOTS of protein. I upped mine up to 70g when I was feeling how you are. This helped a lot! But everyday you start feeling better once you get enough protein in you consistently. Good luck!

Surgery on 9.28 at 225. Today's 208 and stalled for a couple days. It's hard to see stalling when our caloric intake is so low!

I was sleeved on Oct 1st, since I've been home I've gotten heartburn at night that wakes me up. My doc had me on Prilosec 20mg, then upped it to 40mgs. I'm still having it at night, waking me up. Is this something that goes away? Any suggestions? Thanks!
