I had surgery Nov 11 it should be better by now but dr says this is one of the side effects to this surgery.

Hi everyone is anyone having any issues with horrible gas smells? If so what can I take or eat to make them not smell as bad. My family is sick and tired and it is embarrassing. Please help I'm desperate and didn't want to write this but I need any advice please and thank you in advance.

That's great cause that's what I've been doing also. I eat chicken, fish, eggs, turkey, cheese and anything with protein.

My first dr was Dr Katz out of Warren Mi who did not perform the sleeve correctly according to my new Dr Marek Lutrykowski 10 Square Lake Rd Bloomfield Hills MI 48402 He performs the surgery at Hutzel/Harper Hospital downtown Detroit and he is amazing.

I had surgery 11/16/15 so 6 weeks out.

I have a problem with protein shakes because I cannot find any I like. Any suggestions?

I hate to hear there are so many mean people out there who would say such things. I would ignore them the best I could and not answer any ignorant question. It's not there body or life so you've made the right decision no matter what others say. Tell them to have a good day and keep moving. Your life's decisions are none of their business.

I had the revision to the sleeve on November 18 it was called a Duo Denal Switch and only lost 25 # so far. You should talk to your surgeon about it because the same thing happened to me. I lost 50 pounds and gained 15 back. The new surgeon advised me my sleeve was not done properly. I am happy now except my dr told me to eat 6 times per day and I find this very hard to do because I don't know what to eat anymore and I find when I don't eat 5-6 times per day I don't lose weight but when I do this consistently I lose a pound per day.

I had the revision to the sleeve on November 16 and only lost 25 # so far. I am running out of options to eat every couple hours. My dr told me to eat 6 times per day but I don't know what to eat anymore. Any suggestions?

Hello all my name is Carol I live in Michigan and I have been married for 18 years and have 4 children 2 boys 2 girls 20, 18, 15, &13. I have the Gastric sleeve on December 5 2011 and I only lost 50 pounds and then started gaining it back slowly but surely. I then went to a different doctor to see what the problem was and he suggested to do a scope to look at the sleeve. He did that and suggested I have a revision called Duo Denal Switch. I just had this surgery on November 18, 2015. It was not as bad as I thought. Yes I was scared and almost said forget it but my doctor was the best ever. Once surgery was over my doctor told me the original sleeve was not done correctly so he fixed that and did the switch and he also removed my appendix and gall bladder because after these surgeries a lot of people end up back in hospital to have one or both removed due to issues song thank him for that. I have only lost 25 pounds so far. I have to get on a schedule because I find if I eat every couple hours I loose more weight than when I don't eat. I can eat just about anything but only a couple bites of what I eat so I must eat good choices. I have been eating a lot of chicken and fish no fried but I am kinda sick of it I need to find creative healthy meals. Taking the vitamins really help me have energy because after surgery I had no energy and slept a lot. I don't go back to work until January 11. The doctor kept me off longer than I expected because he is so careful and wants to make sure I'm great before I go back.
