How are you doing @FluffyChix?

GERD is a real consideration to take into account when thinking about which type of WLS to choose. However, the fact that you have diabetes is also very important to your decision. Work with your team, ask them very specific questions about your case and what their recommendations are and why. Good Luck💜

I 💜 mystery novels.

4 days post op conversion from VSG to RNY. Minimal pain but tons of swelling. I was up and walking within hours of surgery. Hospital stay was 2 nights. Feeling pretty good. Drinking well, no hunger again. No complaints.

Forgot to update... I think 😁 Post revision to RNY, back home doing great & feeling good

Following this thread But Question: Are you considering a second TT or WLS? Or just losing regain?

Is that a Canadian brand?

I don't like any of the flavors straight except cookies and cream ( but i never drink it straight anyway 😞) No clue how much I'm able to get down in a sitting because im simply always drinking to meet my quota. Im not measuring just completing items. So far I've tried waters, popsicles once, bai, broth twice, PP shakes and teas. Nothing else. Also I'm even colder than before patiently waiting for this heat wave 😂

Hahahahaha You know what my sense of smell is turned up a notch for sure and somethings are smelling horrific to me that i probably never noticed before So youre right

So far yes, no one can hear my stomach churning & I don't feel it either, but I am also not eating. I will wait a few months to give my final views on it to be certain.

Stage 1 diet ( post op) : Doing the thing like I'm supposed to... Still absolutely no hunger. Even while cooking for others. Haven't even bothered with jello cups or popsicles yet. Still just fluids.

I have done this also! 💜

💜CONGRATULATIONS💜

You literally do have to drink all the time, there's no way around it. Keep a drink in your hand whenever possible as a reminder. Good luck!

I was gifted with this beauty by my boyfriend to help me in my new journey... And because he wants soups which he received promptly😂

Nope! Maybe because i got myself up to walk very quickly

I was prepared to see the scale move up so i was at peace with it and don't mind but the bloating is just so uncomfortable !

Ok just nurse called me and confirmed i could start protein shakes today also whew!

💜CONGRATULATIONS💜

⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ Ok here's the details on why I needed a revision: 1. Stricture at Incisera/spiraled sleeve- confirmed through testing and in surgery (no way to fix both issues without revision surgery) 2. GERD- I NEVER had it prior to surgery. It was a side effect. It was caused (surgeon believes) by the stricture I had at the incisera. This was confirmed through endo and surgery. 3. Hiatal Hernia- no explanation needed. 4. Gastritis- had this prior to first surgery and never resolved itself but hopefully now it will 5. Adhesions- plenty and plenty and plenty that NEEDED to be removed. Here's why youve never heard about any of these things until now: I still lost weight with the issues i had... They did not stop me from making better choices and working hard with the hand i was given. Plus complaining here would just scare people out of something that could benedit them immensely. I did all of my wailing to my surgeons and they took my concerns seriously. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Hope this helps someone. These complications especially clustered like this are rare. Surgery was still completely worthwhile. This may never ever happen to you. You do not have to fail at WL because of complications. You do not have to regain because of complications. You DO have to check in with your team and make them aware so they can help you.

There in lies the puffiness lol and I'm swollen throughout my abdomen too plus my bra is slightly padded, Oh and i started out quite large in the rack 😁
