    That is so scary :/ I'm so glad you didn't have any internal bleeding or damage to your surgery area! Don't stress, it will get better, just take it easy

    Help after surgery???

    My mom stayed with me for five days but honestly, I took care of myself the entire time. Worst thing for me has been the main incision site pain, which is not unbearable if I hold the area, stopped pain mess on 3 dpo.

    Excited but nervous...

    Congrats to you! It will be so worth it once the extra skin is gone.

    VSG or RNY?

    I decided on the sleeve because I thought it was less invasive compared to RNY, I also wanted a slow and steady weight loss to prevent complications associated with rapid weight loss, and theirs little chance of vitamin deficiency! With the sleeve, it's a tool to help you reach your goals but if you are not committed it will not work
  14. I went back after a week and a day, aside from my main incision pain I've been fine, no issues! I wear spandex and place towel on it

    3 months post op.

    Honestly, you should be eating more! For me, if I was restricted to 500 cals for the rest of my life I wouldn't be happy because that's not enough to sustain a healthy life. I look fwd to eating a normal and healthy 1100-1300 per day.

    Is the heartburn and burping called gerd? Or is that reflux ?

    Lady Tee, are you only intaking soups and water? I honestly hate the way water taste now. I have to dilute it. I'm drinking at least 30-40oz or water or liquids and a protein drink as of yesterday each day is better. I don't get heartburn but I do burp alot

    Read BEFORE Gastric Balloon for one persons review

    I'm glad I read this! I thought maby this could've worked for me but at "4'11" 230 pds I was morbidly obese and was feeling the comorbidities creeping up on me! I'm glad I got the sleeve though it's "surgery" the risks are low and I went back to work 8 days afterwards. I'm 25 yo and plan to live and see my kids kids
