  1.    beltran2000 reacted to a post in a topic: I feel so frustrated
  2. I had a Hiatal Hernia repaired with the Sleeve. I had advanced GERD before surgery & have it worse now. What is PPI? I did my 3 30gram Protein shakes today & about 40oz of water, so gonna lay low until I see my surgeon Tuesday! He has been out of the country for almost a month so he is not aware of most of all this. I have total faith in him & will just pray he has an answer that will make this a little easier. I knew it would be hard but this is ridiculous. I haven't even thought of eating Peanut Butter or lunchmeat it is actually on my list of NO's. Lol. Thank you for the suggestions and input appreciate it
  3. So its Biotin for the hair loss prevention? Or at least to help a little?
  4. I did not have a stress test. I was told I didn't need one as I have never had heart issues & the EKG he did order looked perfect. Sorry that probably doesn't make you feel any better. But I will tell now that I am 1 day shy of my 2 months Post surgery. Do all the test they ask you to do. Good luck. When is your surgery?
  5. Thank you for the response swimbikerun. I had GERD for years (a lot) before surgery. What do you mean convert me? Idk what was seen when they did my Upper Endoscopy yesterday my surgeon is suppose to go over that with my since its a direct problem from the sleeve surgery. And as far as the Biopsy's My GI doctor said he took them due to have inflammed my esphagus is, but believes its from all the vomiting. But wanted to be safe so took the biopsy. Some answers but so many questions still.
  6. I am almost 2 months out from surgery and it has been a rough bumpy ride. I just under went an emergency Upper Endoscopy today due to being unable to keep fluids, protein shakes or food down for 8 days. After multiple ER visits for fluid (dehydration) and pain med's they decided to do a Barium Swallow test which was to be done yesterday but after they woke up and decided Oh wait she can not drink 12oz of Barium we can't do that test, so I was scheduled for the Endoscopy. They found that I have "Dumping Syndrome" and my advanced GERD is even more advanced which is worrisome in itself. So now I have to go see my surgeon on Tuesday to discuss what to do about the Dumping. Has anyone had this problem with the sleeve? From what I have read it is not that common in the sleeve surgery, but it obviously can happen with any of them. I am just so upset cause I haven't been able to eat much food at all let alone food that is high is sugar, Carbs or Saturated Fats, so I am not sure what I can change, but I am willing to do anything to stop this violent vomiting. I just do not know what to do now? But try and get my water down and keep trying to eat my 6 very small meals a day. Anyone else having these issues?
