Yes I've been talking 40 mg. Omeprazole every day since I started having trouble with my pancreas ten years ago. It's a big help, the sleeve just doesn't want extremely spicy food in it, maybe it's not all the way healed, I'm gonna be 8 months out now and I learn something new about the sleeve and it's requirements every day. I also must say I'd do it over again in a minute. I was dreading getting back into exercise because I used to hurt so badly before, but after losing over 80 lbs. I can say exercise is easier than ever before. Everything in life is awesome now, I just keep my asthma inhaler with me at all times, I never know what else might trigger another attack.

I have had to stop eating really hot stuff, it starts to upset my stomach and immediately enters into my esophagus and burns so bad I literally can't breathe. My throat burns so much the acid burns so bad and I can't breathe in any air until I use my inhaler. I thought it was happening only at nite from laying down but it does it during the day also. Keep your inhaler handy if you have this same reaction you're gonna need it. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

You are 9 days out of surgery and craving alcohol, you're not even on mashed foods yet but you want to drink that sounds exactly like an alcoholic to me, really wasn't judging, but it sounded like a cry for help. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

You sound like an alcoholic, maybe get some help for that before you irritate your new stomach and possibly have some serious problems, sometimes life threatening. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

You look fantastic, this surgery helps alot of people. My weight would always come back it didn't matter what diet I tried, I'm 4'11" My HW 238 I looked hideous to myself. My SW 209 Myself CW 147, I didn't do the surgery for any other reason than to get healthy. I felt lost in my own prison that I created for myself.... I did think it was going to make me happy though, but that idea is long gone. I'm happy now because I feel so much better. As I aproach my 8th month I am so happy with the results that I would do it all over again, that's how I know I'm happy.

Ok you say you want drama, how can I handle the fact that now people who I have known just started asking me out and it seems like it is just recently now that I've lost the weight. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

My before and after pics, I don't want anyone to really see how fat I was I'm so ashamed. HW 238 SW 209 CW 145 I'm going on 7 months out and have lost almost 90 some pounds. I had the sleeve and I feel amazing. Best thing I've ever done for myself.[emoji5] Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you very much. This is definitely not the easy way out as most of us have tried for years as I did to try and lose it with dieting for years before we resort to surgery. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

If you have the surgery in Mexico and have something go wrong after the surgery, an ER Dr, can't turn you away if something goes wrong. They have to help you. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Ok, here goes, I'm scared to death that I might stretch out my stomach and I'm worried to death I'm going to undo everything I had done. Anyone else have this fear?? I'm sure alot of wls patients are thinking about this has anyone else had their surgery undone by stretching it out? Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Sometimes even if my stomach is growling, first I try a glass of water and usually it simmers down. I don't particularly like water, but tea or broth would help and the broth is good for you. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm bipolar also I also have a ton of pills to take every day. I just took my meds slowly and I got my meds in without any problems. I also take Seroquel, and all my meds stayed down I didn't have to open up the capsules in my Prozac or anything. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm in between the ball of tape and the newborn calf, I'm only 6 1/2 months out. I really feel awesome. TFS this so funny I can't wait to tell my mom that an elephants penis is 60 lbs. LOL LOL LOL Love this!! Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for the idea I'm gonna get a puzzle today so I can keep busy. I have the head hunger also. It's hard to retrain my brain and I'm worried I'm going to stretch out my stomach, I had the sleeve on June 21st 2017, anyone know how long it takes to stretch out the stomach after wls? Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you very much, I have never been overweight in my whole life so when I actually see myself in these before and after pics I start to cringe, I hate myself in all photos. I didn't realize but I had been staying away from mirrors for a very long time. Ty all for your kind words. I seem to be having a hard time accepting the fact that I am not as ugly as I feel anyone know how to treat this problem, because I know it's not good to feel like this?

That's really awesome, great job keeping it off, I'm going on 7 months out and I'm already worrying I'll stretch my sleeve and I'll be hungry all the time all over again. Can you give me some ideas on how to keep that from happening, I'm freaked out that it could happen? Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

I've had bad constipation almost my whole life, I finally started adding a stool softener every day with my vitamins that way I don't forget to take it. Has anyone tried Vivensce , I think that's what it's called. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

I don't know why you would need anything at the hospital, I had the gastric sleeve and I was there overnight and released the very next morning, don't work yourself up to thinking that it's going to be such a major surgery. It's done with 5 little puncture sites, I had no stitches and no tape even. I think the more anxious you are you work it up much more than you need to. I'm 6 mos out, HW 238 4'11" SW 209 CW 147 I've lost 91 lbs overall and I couldn't be happier I'm only 25 pounds to my goal. Went from size 18 to an 8. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app
