I had mine done in 2016. I regret it as well. I think i was to old(58) at the time. Not alot of Weight loss but plenty of side effects. Mainly dumping syndrome. I cant eat rice, pasta, Most meat or FISH! The dumping syndrome is severe taking up to 8 hours or more to pass. I would not do it again.

Ulcer. Have it checked. I had an ulcer along surgical line. Needed 2 months at least of treatment. Call someone from your surgical team. Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

I did. Kept me nauseated everytime I ate. Had to do treatment for a couple months. Went away. Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

You will. I assure you. In fact after nearly a year I'm struggling to get back on track. If you don't the weight creeps back. I felt the same way. It got worse because I developed an ulcer and could hardly eat anything. I can eat almost anything now but have trouble if I eat to much bread or meat. Be patient.

6 days after my surgery last year my sense of smell changed. I started smelling gasoline then cigarette smoke. I don't drive or smoke. Things tasted different to. I'll soon see a specialist to work on why since it still continues 10 months later..... Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 10 months out. I eat as slowly as possible. Sometime my food goes cold. I'd rather do that rather than have an episode of dumping... Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

In 1987 I lost 70 pounds to fast and got kidney and gallstones. Something to drink a lot of water to help manage. Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

I went through the same thing plus I got an ulcer along the surgical incision. Yes you will. But some things still bother my stomach after 9 months. Meats like beef. Greasy stuff. Always eat slowly. I've eaten to fast and you get dumping syndrome which is a nightmare. Eat slowly. Your doctor will guide you. Follow it carefully. Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

Me to. Make sure you take the vitimins. Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

I still drink regular soda. Not diet soda when I want one. I still lose weight. Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

Eat slowly never allow yourself to be rushed. Chew carefully. As long as I do this I can eat anything. When I rush or force more food I get dumping syndrome. Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes at 7 months out I can eat small portions of almost anything. My stomach still has trouble with greasy stuff though. Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

I made sure mine was scheduled 3 days after my birthday. I haven't eaten the same since. Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah you will. Eat SLOWLY and small amounts. Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

Slow and consistent . Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app

I kind of had the same problem. I was able to drink the vanilla premiere protein shake. Make sure it's very cold but not iced. The chocolate was to flavored and sweet the other flavors gave me the runs.

Yup 5 months out...lots of hair loss.

Yeah you feel like your on the verge of throwing up. A lot of gas and burping. Nausea. DONT DO IT. You want to try tiny amounts of new foods first to test tolerance. Sent from my SGH-M919 using the BariatricPal App

I take zoloft. Had to crush it for 6 weeks.... are you taking 1 pill at a time every 10 minutes? Space them out. Sent from my SGH-M919 using the BariatricPal App

I had an ulcer to. Very lucky mine is gone now. Between that and gluten intolerance I could hardly eat anything.How do you usually get an ulcer? Worry. My dad had one bad when I was a kid without any surgery... try to relax. Sent from my SGH-M919 using the BariatricPal App

I developed 2 infections , gluten intolerance and a gastric ulcer after my 10/ 28/ 16 surgery. 200 pds is my goal weight lol. Don't worry about it. All things will pass. Sent from my SGH-M919 using the BariatricPal App

sleep test is nothing. You just sleep lol. A PET scan terrified me and delayed my surgery by 3 months. Then they found an abnormality. A possible heart attack. (!!!!!). OR...OR an artifact caused by a bone casting a shadow. No way to tell. Surgery went good. Post op not so good. Don't worry about sleep test they put electrodes on you and that's it. It's all good.
