Very true sis! Keep in touch, let me know how your progress continues.

I'm 7 days post op and already back to work girl! Who's placed the limitations? Get out and about!

In 1999-2000 I had a Vertical Gastric Banding (mesh) by a Doc Mason Jett in OKC. Over the past 17yrs I've countlessly struggled with vomiting, avoided meat, bread and Pasta due to everything getting "stuck" or anything spicy due to terrible reflux. Also, I've had some serious issues with not being able to have bowel movements. So I've constantly been on fleet pills, suppositories and other devices to be able to go. Needless to say I'm terrified at what they are going to find when they do a scope. My abdomen is always very distended especially up top above my belly button. BMI is 33.3. I have my 1st consultation on Thursday 2/9/17 and I will have to be a self pay so I'm certain I'll be able to arrange the revision surgery quick. After the research I've done I'm going with the roux-en-y gastric bypass. Crossing fingers that this will be a better solution for a life long way of living. If anyone is in a similar situation I would love to buddy up. Please reach out, Amy Thank you in advance, Amy

Update: Had the surgery and did great! Already back to work and getting fluids all in [emoji8]

My understanding on the gas pain is that it is pretty intense after surgery and will be tolerated much better when walking as well as making gas x strips your best friend. Hope that helps

Good luck Meryline, you'll do great! Keep us posted

Good luck with everything Slimntrim, keep us updated!

You should go back to sitting in support group meetings to keep you on track and get you motivated

Hang in there girl! Stick to the liquids only. You can do this!

I was all like damn I'm gonna be having me some enchiladas hahahhahahahahahahhaha [emoji23][emoji38]!!!

Enchiladas helps colds? Soup or actual?

Meryline I'm dealing with the same issue. My doc said to get on antibiotics and a z Pak to get the chest cold done.

What's going on with you sis that you feel so alone?

Are you post op or pre op?

Girl you are NEVER alone. He is always with you. Where is your family?

Of course

The sleeve has not been around long so therefore we do not know much information on the long term effects
