Take the dulcolax pills. Get some relief. Being constipated sucks, hurts, and makes you feel terrible. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I was diagnosed with gerd (gastroesophageal reflux disease), prior to my sleeve and I also had a small hiatal hernia that was repaired during my surgery. So, I have been taking Omeprazol before surgery and I still take it every evening. My problem seems to be gas or indigestion, no reflux, but just kinda bubbly in my guts. I chew a couple of Simethicone tablets and the indigestion/gas goes away. I'm fortunate that it doesn't happen every night, nor do I wake up with reflux like I did prior to surgery.

Had my surgery on 7/13/16, also had a great recovery. No vomiting or issues with gas. Followed all instructions and feel great. Now, I'm two weeks post-op and you would never know that i had surgery. Joined a gym today to start increasing my exercise. Good luck to all who have had surgery and pray for others to get insurance approvals and surgery dates. Take care.

I ordered a Water bottle from MyHydrate.com. This bottle keeps track of each 8 oz. that I drink, by lightning up. When I finally get all eight buttons lit up, it plays a congratulatory melody. It also chirps in an hour if I've not taken a drink. This bottle has helped me to stay on track with keeping myself hydrated. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I had a sore throat right after surgery and into the next day. Mine may have come from both being intubated and having a small hiatal hernia repair. I existed on ice chips and small sips of the melted Water. Didn't eat anything until after I was given the leak test. Had a lot of nausea, but found out it was coming from the pain medication, which I refused to take afterwards. So, all in all, I am 5 days post-op. Since going home, I only take plain Tylenol for pain and only twice a day. I'm truly blessed with my speedy recovery. My family and friends say I don't act like someone's that had surgery. Just take it one day at a time and move, walk, sit up and take small sips at a time. #feelingblessed Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
