I have to wait until aug. 15 to see my doctor. I'm worried. Like you, I would love to make it to 150. I could easily guzzel 32oz of water or eat a large pizza and I don't think it would come back up.( Sorry if that's TMI ) but I just don't have the restriction. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to go around throwing up all the time but dang! ????

I was sleeved july 29,2013 and I am almost the exact same as you. I haven't seen my surgeon yet but I have never felt restriction. I don't know about the gerd but I have reflux (I always have) & I have to take two prilosec otc a day. I'm honestly so embarrest because my lowest weight was 187 in December and now I fluctuate between 198-203. My highest weight was 231 July 3,2013.

I had my surgery July 29. I have been fluctuating with the SAME 3-5 lbs since December. I've been doing cardio and weight training so I upped my calories from 800 to 1000. What's everyone else doing? I'm stuck & frustrated. I'm wondering if I 'broke' my sleeve.

add me too, I'm breederb

Oh honey, you're not alone as I'm a hot mess!!! I was sleeved on July 29 & my dr only allows liquids for THREE WEEKS. 21 days. My stomach actually growls like it did before... I imagine myself diving into a bowl of pasta at Olive Garden... Anyway, I think are thoughts are normal. Good luck

I was told to smash it on a cutting board.

I have reflux so badly right now that it woke me up at 2:30am. I took a pepcid (Rx from the doctor) & I am hoping it kicks in soon. I had reflux before my sleeve surgery & I took prilosic otc & it worked for me. I'm on liquids only. Good luck! :-)

Thank goodness I'm not the only one! I was sleeved yesterday around 3:00pm and I feel like I'm starving. My stomach seems to be howling & growling. I told every nurse, assistant, P.A. who walked into my room. Nobody had an answer of what this is..

This cracks me up- I don't remember posting this, LOL! I made it home from the hospital & all is well but when the nurse was pulling the drain tube I almost passed out. For some reason the tube was stuck. After a shot of morphine & deep breaths, the RN pulled it out.

I was sleeved yesterday & I'm here at Baylor Plano sipping away... I hope everyone is doing well

I wish they would have hooked me up with something to calm my nerves. I don't check into the hospital until noon. Oy!!!!

I'm tomorrow too!!! Best of luck to you!

I'm with you!!!! My check in time is noon on Monday. I can't hardly wait!!!!

Me too!

Has anyone been diagnoised with gastroparesis and still sleeved? I had my EGD yesterday and the doctor said I may have this. Next Monday I have to have an upper G.I. and on Tuesday I have to have a gastric emptying test. My surgery is set for Monday the 29. I've been on my 2 week pre-op diet since Monday. I have no idea if I'll get to have my surgery or not or even be able to talk to my surgeon until NEXT Thursday because he's on vacation. Needless to say, the office wasn't really helpful and when I asked if I needed to stay on this pre-op diet all I was told is " I would." Nice. So I have nobody to answer my questions AND I'm starving!!!! Any insight would be great, signed, homicidally hungry Rebecca

Thanks for posting this, I start my 2 week pre-op on Monday. ~ Rebecca

You look gorgeous! Congrats!!!

We need to! I'm 5'6 & 231. I start my pre~op diet on Monday & I have an EGD on Wednesday tge 17th.

I'm July 29th too!!!!

YAY!!! I'm scheduled for July 29th!

I wish I could help but I have mine scheduled for the 17th and I'm pretty freaked out. My sister had one & she said it's easy. She said they put a little thing in your mouth ( for the thing to go in) & you lay down then they are waking you up. She said you are just fine the rest of the day & it's like taking a good nap. I hope this helps you. :-)

Dr.Nicholson is a rock star!!!!

My surgery date is July 29!!!!!
