Thanks! I have a desk job as well. But very mentally draining.I am also concerned about the emotional changes that happen during the first 3 weeks. I don't want to take that baggage back with me.

I read a question about taking time off post op but it didn't really pertain to me. I have short term disability at my job and some paid time off and wa thinking I would take

3 weeks. My husband is supportive of that and says we can afford to do so. But how much time dos others take to get back on track and back to work?

Curious about your Iron. Are you still having periods? I think this makes. Huge difference in many of us. I have always had great Iron levels and now I am post menopausal and not having periods.

I have friends who use them but I am about a month out from

My surgery date and wa told by one of the Baratric nurses that they have found the Patches are not effective. I am

Not deficient in any way so I plan on using them. If my first post op blood work shows they are not working I will switch. But like you , I can't swallow all those pills!

Have they ordered an endoscopy for you? If not they should. I had the same issue and come to find out I have Barrett's Esophagus and an hietal hernia. That means I am

Not eligible for sleeve any longer and have to have the Ren y. I really encourage you to get an endoscopy as if they open you up and you have ulcers, hernia Eric they will not complete your surgery!
