So I'm 7 months out and I've lost 115 lbs...needless to say I have a little bit of loose skin, although i am actually lucky because it's not a lot. Any recommendations on home remedies, loations or exercises that help firm/tighten skin?

So I was wondering if anyone else has the issue of waking up in the middle of the night with sever pain from acid reflux? Like clock work I always wake up at 4 and I am burping and in so much pain. What do yall do? And yes I take my PPI right before bed.

Everything was fine, my tummy was just emptying slow and is still a little swollen from surgery.

Me! I will be 5 weeks post op tomorrow and I have severe nausea and vomiting. I have been dealing with it since last week. My doctor put me on acid reflux meds. I have been taking them for 4 days now but it's not helping yet.

Ive been on acid reflux meds since day one and nothing this will be the third hospitalization. They have done blood work and a CT scan and have found nothing.. doc said she will do and upper GI tomorrow, so I guess we will see what's going on then.

So I take a capsule of pump inhibitor to prevent acid reflux and Gerd but I'm having a hard time taking it. Is there any other way to take it or different type of pump inhibitor yall take?

Okay so I know my doctor told me to take a pump inhibitor to prevent acid reflux but I haven't taken them and I haven't had any reflux at all. Anyone else finding that they don't have acid reflux after gastric sleeve surgery?

Don't be nervous! everything will be okay, when you wake up from surgery you will think to yourself "it's already over". I was nervous too but there was no reason. Good luck to you

That same thing happened to me with Protein shakes. My doctor told me to try carnation instant Breakfast the sugar free or lite one with skim milk and that did the trick.

The IUD is amazing, and yeah there are people that have had complications from it. But you will be having a lot more complications if you get pregnant within a year of having the sleeve. Birth control pills cause weight gain and after surgery pills are the easiest to get down. I would suggest the IUD, the procedure takes like 15 min and you just need to rest the rest of the day after getting it placed. If you decided you want kids all you do is get it taken out and bam! You can start baby making. Lol

I just had mine done a week ago and I remember having all of the same thoughts, it almost gave me a cloister phobic feeling. After surgery I was fine, but taking small sips and having gas definitely takes getting use to. Not to worry.
