I had a sleeve 5 1/2 years ago because 2/3 of my stomach was up above my diaphragm between my lungs headed for my heart. He had to do a sleeve to get my stomach bachk through without destroying my diaphragm. Therefore, he could not apply the mesh normally put on to prevent another hiatal hernia because I had so many stitches in my diaphragm. So about six months ago I started getting terrible reflux. After a gi endoscopy, my hiatal hernia is back, but not much. But i do have a spot of Barretts on my esophagus but came back negative. I will be having the roux en y gastrojujenstoma on June 3 because he said at this point, this is the only this that will take care of this terrible reflux. I am almost 67. Never had any problems with the sleeve, lost 75 lbs., and have not gained any back.

I have zofran, but I try not to take it and omeprezerole (spelling) I CAN'T drink shakes AT ALL! The dr tolf me to stop them, but when I tried, I can't drink them anyway. EVERYTHING makes me nauseaus. I'm wondering if I need stronger reflux meds. I'm so depressed, I knew it would be a life change, but I didn't count on feeling like THIS.

I have been very open and honest with anyone who has asked how I've lost "all that weight"; I can't lie and I have no filter. The only thing that has bugged me was mentioned a few posts back. "I bet your husband is so happy." He is, but he's happy that his wife is happier and healthier. Otherwise, my friends, family and random acquaintances have been supportive to my face. If they talk behind my back, I don't let that stuff bother me anymore

I'm on the Protein only phase and I've been doing great with that and my Water but today... today I was starving. I ate very 1.5 hours, sometimes every hour. I didn't eat much as I can't handle more than a few ounces but I can't believe how hungry I was. I have been burning more calories at the gym and it is that time of the month (TMI, sorry), but could that be it? This is the first day where I want to eat and eat and eat!
On the bright side, I made good choices and didn't eat carbs or bad foods.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Today is my 4 month surgiversary and I am down 65 lbs. This is the best thing I have ever done for MYSELF!!

I can see dental issues arising with severe reflux..
Beyond that, likely imagination, or would be from not taking care of teeth by default.

Hi,
I have been lurking in the forum for a while. So like many of you I'm in the process ( month 2 of 6 for Insurance pre qualification) of getting the sleeve. I want to try to set myself up for success by on the right path before I get the surgery. My ultimate down fall is my insatiable sweet tooth. Is anyone else working on this? Has anyone had success in beating this?

I think you have a right to be worried. It sounds like she is developing some very dangerous habits.
Try to get her family doctor involved. She should go in for a checkup that includes a urine test (to check for dehydration), as well as bloodwork that tests for Vitamin deficiencies.
If the doctor finds things wrong, then it is medical advice she is exposed to, rather than a nagging husband
I'm 3 months postop, and eat/drink ALL THE TIME.. and my bloodwork just came back . Deficient in vit. D and A. A!!!! You know.. carrots! Craziness.
You did right, looking around for help. [Pat on the back]..
