k9nana, I had a hiatal hernia and my Dr decided to go forward with my gastric Sleeve and also repaired my hernia. I had my surgery 12/12/16. Doing great, lost 32lbs so far. The way they repair the hernia is to use the part of the stomach they remove to repair it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had a lot of gas and burping and my nutritionist told me to get something for it. I found these Gas x strips. You just put them on your tongue and they melt. They work great! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did you have times where you didn't loose weight for a week or more? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Premier Protein shakes are good. Also my Dr told me to not drink 30 minutes before and wait at least 30 minutes before drinking after. Also nutritionist told me more important to get Water in than protein the first couple of weeks to prevent dehydration. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I agree. I was kept in the hospital for 2 days. Had and X-ray done 24 hours after surgery to check for leaks in my stomach. It was hard to get fluids down at the beginning. Important to get fluids in over Protein. It got better by second week. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My nutritionist told me that I would have plateaus where I wouldn't loss weight for few days or weeks that it was normal especially for women. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had a long history of acid reflux and on medication for many years. I had to have a upper GI and swallow test before my Dr would do my GS. I also had a hiatal hernia. My Dr decided to go ahead with the surgery since taking some of the stomach to fix hernia which is how hernia is fixed. Have not had reflux since. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery on 12/12/16. The first week was rough. On Christmas Day at my daughter's house for dinner I ate a couple bites of ham and knew I could'nt tolerant so I had brought egg drop Soup which has been one of my favorite things. I also brought sugar free pudding to eat when everyone was having dessert. It's now been almost a month since surgery and I able to eat scrambled eggs with cheese, tuna with light mayo. 3-4 ounces of roasted chicken, white Parmesan fish and of course I'm still eating the egg drop soup, delicious! I loss 14 pounds before surgery and 13 pounds after surgery. Also taking my Multivitamins, B12, Calcium with Vitamin D and Biotin. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
