I was prescribed Levsin for spasms/cramping. Works wonders!

You are awesome!!!! I'm asking my doctor Tuesday for my 1 week f/u appt.... Thank you bunches!!!!! :-)

I have had bad cramping every time I eat or drink too. I also can not drink my Protein Shake either anymore. I had my surgery on the 15th.

I just got a post response from Sleever who got Levsin from his MD and it really helped his cramps and spasms... I can't wait until my f/u appt on Tuesday maybe this will help us both :-) praying

Gas x strips help a lot and walking when the spasms start for about 5 mins and soon after I start to belch...

Thanks for updates, I seem to pas gas and belch pretty good. It's like I woke a lion...it usually seems to be my Protein more than anything. It's the most uncomfortable part of my post op

Hey there! I'm a Kentucky gal, Louisville that is! But I've moved to Atlanta where I've resided for the last 13 years! I had my surgery this past week on the 20th. Good luck tomorrow- that's my 5 yr olds birthday :-)

I'm worried because I feel very uncomfortable' date=' I feel the rumbling but nothing.[/quote']

Walk walk walk... Even if its laps in your home. I promise it will eventually wake up your bowls for both ends :-)

In the post op stage! I have to confess I questioned my decision doing this. It is not the easiest thing to do BUT today day 3 of post surgery I feel pretty good. I've lost 15 lbs since my pre-op appt a week ago! This is not easy to do so don't go into this thinking it is a cake walk. Think positive thoughts and walk a lot and that will help with the pain. I'm already doing fantasy shopping in my head! Life is good!

Hey I also had my surgery on the 20th, how are you tolerating the Protein? And do experience stomach spasms!

I am so ready for Tuesday.. My bag for the hospital is for the most part packed' date=' fridge and freezer is full for the kids while I'm in the hospital, and letters wrote to everyone just in case something happens.. I don't think I'm forgetting anything.. I know I'm doing the right thing for me but part of me wonders what my kids are gonna do if something happens to me..they are only 8 & 6[/quote']

Hello, I was also sleeved on this past Tuesday, how are you tolerating the procedure?

Hello August Sleevers, I had my surgery 8/20/2013. I was curious If anyone else has experienced really bad stomach spasms? It seems like they start when I drink sometimes. Also I'm not able to tolerate the Protein Shakes like I could preop, anyone else having this problem and If so what have you done that's helped?

Hello everyone, I had my surgery this past Tuesday 8/20/2013 and everything went well other than these REALLY BAD stomach spasms. It seems to be more agrovatwd when I drink.

I'm wondering if I did some harm to my stomach I pick up 4 books at my college bookstore and I walked with them about 10 minutes to my car and I realize my right side of my stomach hurts horrible. Any way I bend down or twist right it's a kinda sharp stinging pain there' date=' I'm almost 3 weeks postop what should I do? I see the surgeon in 4 days[/quote']

My surgeon said no lifting greater than 5 lbs until after 6 weeks, if you start lifting heavy items you may cause yourself an incisional hernia

Good luck today! Your starting a new chapter that will be worth every moment that your facing. My friend had her sleeve on Dec 2012 and she is down 115 lbs. may you be blesses and filled with the peace of God!

You may be just fine, my friend had hers in December and she was back in a week. She's done well and down 115lbs, just remember your Protein and hydrate well. Good Luck!

Hey guys! Glad to find my August Sleevers, anyone have an iPad and having trouble learning to add friend? I have no clue how to?

I start my preop diet August 1st too... Surgery is August 28th

I was told to start a preop diet that soon, I plan to have my surgery a week before yours. Are you starting the liquid diet Aug 1st?

Hey August Sleevers! I'm going to my final surgeon appt in August and want to have my surgery before the last week of the month. Can't wait to get the old me back!
