Surgery was 9/11 for sleeve...I feel great getting better everyday. I am just having a burning sensation with my bottom incision, I literally have to hold it when I walk. Did anyone else have this? Could not go thru belly button cause I just had emergency strangulated hernia repair three weeks earlier.

I would most definitely ask your doctor. He/she should have told you what you could take. I know they don't want you to take any motrin or anything like that since it will thin your blood. Just make a quick call and see what they say to be safe...good luck

I had post surgery weight gain too...think that it was the gas that they blow you up with. I came home thirteen pounds more than I left here at. But it went away quickly. 4 days post opp and I am down 17 pounds from the day after surgery. Glad that was posted I thought it was just me.

I had my surgery early September 11--I came home Thursday and felt TERRIBLE!!! the gas bubble was so bad on my chest. I have been taking some chewable gas x that is helping tremendously. I am reading other posts and trying to figure out how people are drinking ten ounces of protein? I cannot seem to get more than two teaspoons of anything down. My husband keeps telling me to continually sip but I just can't. I have not gotten sick cause I keep stopping when my body tells me to like the doctor said. I know I don't want to dehydrate and I am trying to keep enough water in me but don't think I am getting enough of that either. I just finished the bottle I started on Thursday afternoon when I got home. Did anyone else have this issue? Plus EVERYTHING STINKS!!! Is that normal?

Had my pre op appt today. Getting so excited. Can't wait til September 11' I am ready to do this. Good luck to all of you with your surgeries!! On our way to better lives

My date was changed to September 11!! With Dr. Deperi at Memorial hospital in Jacksonville, Florida

I am Sept 6th...excited, can't wait...good luck to all those in Sept as well
