    Did anyone have these after getting sleeved? My procedure is out of state and my primary care absolutely won't remove stitches from another doctor's work. (She said it's a malpractice case waiting to happen.)

    Wondering if dissolvable stitches are an option because I don't know how I will get them out with out flying back to Florida, which is ludicrous. Thanks in advance.

    I don't get to read much for pleasure during the school year - and the summers I tend to get lost in my brain candy beach romances.

    I've got these on my list for summer (and recuperation)

    You should go see your doctor. And is your surgeon is not local - go to your primary care physician.

    It could be severe reflux - they should have instructed you to take Prilosec or something similar. But definitely seek medical attention immediately. Go to the ER if necessary.

    Good point! I sure hope so! But actually - having rules will be a good thing. I could see me letting things get out of hand if I get too much leeway. ;)

    Well, if you look a little more closely at that handout, you'll see it says to wait for "one year or until 75% of excess weight lost."

    Depending on your starting weight / BMI (?) and how much you lose pre-op, that could be six months or even sooner.

    ;)
