  1. I am 5 days post op and I finally been able to figure out what this horrible pain I have been experiencing in my upper chest that occurs when I am sleeping or when I wake up. It seems to be GERD. What a terrible feeling it is.

    Did anybody try anything over the counter to help with the burning feeling? I woke up this morning in so much pain, I didn't know if it was gas pain or what.

  2. Hi all,

    I had my op on the 25th, so 6 days ago. I'm starting back at work today, and feeling a bit nervous as am having lots of pulling pain from one of the suture lines, unless I curl up like Quasimodo. No one at work knows I've had it done, and I want it to stay that way. Otherwise am doing well. Holding down small amounts of puree, slowly building up my exercise tolerance, trying to get enough liquid in.

    How long have others had off work?

    Curious to know how the return to work went.

  3. I had my surgery on 10/21/16. My start weight preop was 266 and now I'm at 243. WooHoo! I am not stressing over pounds because i know those numbers will go lower in time. But I am struggling with overall intake of liquids and Protein. The first week was rough with just liquids. Now that I moved to puree foods, I thought it would get easier but I am struggling with getting everything in (liquids,protein,food). I don't feel hungry and I get indigestion often. I can barely get 1 Protein shake in and I sip on Water throughout the day. Trying to fit puree food in between is hard especially when I don't feel hungry or really want anything. I hope it gets better. I am trying to stay positive. I am excited to have a happier, healthier life.
