I was evaluated in the er...I never thought you were a dr but was posing the condition to see if someone else had the same and if they possibly had an idea

I am having that currently

Constipation, irritability, hormone fluctuations, being cold often, acid reflux, Hair loss, change in tastes, those are a few common ones. if you read through this forum you will find a lot of answers. check out youtube pinterest instagram you need to research all the pros/cons. all in all its a good move to regain your life.

Does anyone know if you can take charcoal caps with you to the hospital to take post-op and also, if anyone has used them, have they been helpful with the gas issue? I take them at home sometimes to help with GI issues...

chamomile tea worked wonders. it works on colicky babies and it worked for me after surgery

Does anyone know if it's safe to take a muscle relaxer? I've had Gastric Bypass and I'm close to being 8 months out from surgery. Is it an NSAID or something completely different or do I just have to stick with taking Tylenol for the rest of my life when Tylenol does absolutely nothing?

The reason I'm asking is because I have really bad chronic Migraines and sometimes I can't even do anything about them until I see my neurologist for a botox injection which is every three months. Sometimes I can make the appointment and when I can't, I have to wait an extra month on top of what I was already waiting and the pills I'm taking that I was prescribed kind of acts like the Tylenol now so... I don't know. Kind of running out of options with pills because every other pill I've tried for Migraines failed and yeah, my neurologist knows.

The only thing I know that does work is the muscle relaxers but the last time I took one was before I had my surgery.... Only thing is that those things knock me out fast. If you know any Vitamins that help with migraines, I'm open to trying those too... I just only do gummies. I don't like chewables...

i take muscle relaxers when i have a lot of pain . i tend to sit a long time at work and the posture really affects the back/neck. i take ibuprofen. my dr said on occasion it is fine to take 2. depending on how bad a sneak a third. im still abig girl so its more effective. tylenol arthritis is another good one it is much stronger than the extra strength. all permissive buy my dr.

Hi all,

Looking into the gastric sleeve, which is what I should have done in 2010 instead of the Lap Band. My band slipped and I had surgery to correct it, but I was never able to eat without vomiting after that so I just had it removed. I lost 60 pounds successfully but the slippage and too many surgeries in a short time turned me off. Fast forward 7 years and I am almost all the way back to my heaviest weight. I am now diabetic and need to take Lipitor to manage my cholesterol. My knees hurt as well. My question is will my insurance company approve another WLS? I am 53 yrs old and will retire in 3 years. Same insurance company (united healthcare) that approved it in 2010. Has anyone run into this scenario? What were your results? Still contemplating...

i was in the same exact situation. i had band removed in 2010 and just had my sleeve 8/9/17. i am 50 and had most co morbidities

11/29--------> 327#

side note: lost 4# over thanksgiving

Sleeved 8/9 down 80# another 70# to first goal

I've had similar issues...the dizzy spells and my vision...it's weird it's like I have to focus before it's clear kinda like when u take pictures and u wait for it to focus...I go to the dr on the 7th of December I'm going to ask then...possibly dehydration for the dizziness

Thanks for these great replies. GwennyPenny, what was best for Constipation? I suffered it a bit after the band, not much shifted it (excuse the pun!) and I wondered what works for others - except trying to eat more fibre...
