The doctor prescribed a 72 hour patch to be placed the night before the procedure. I changed it once , but never felt any nausea. But every person is different, some people feel nauseated from the anesthesia. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app

My doctor said the same, it can happen also if you abuse the stomach, like in all other procedures. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi all, This is one of the best decision I made in a while, Iam 48 years old, 5" 1" was 190 one week ago. I came across Dr. Sharaiha's clip loved the idea. I had an appointment on June 13, then a follow up with a nutritionist the next day. They had available July 7 so I booked it. My Insurance doesn't cover this procedure, therefore I didn't have to go through the waiting period and psych consultation. The doctor and the hospital offer a payment plan, that was helpful. I wouldn't take a chance and do it in Mexico or somewhere else. One week before the procedure I went back for all the blood work. The day before the procedure I had to be on the clear liquid diet, Nexxium and an anti-nausea patch. My surgery was scheduled for 9 am, I was in the hospital at 8, back home at 2 Pm. No nausea no vomiting, the only issue was gas pain that got better by walking . I also had some pain in my throat from the tubes, gone by Sunday. Monday went back to work (desk job). The post op diet is Clear liquid for 2 days, then full Liquid for the end of the 2 weeks than gradually adding soft solids,solids up to week 6 you have to follow the program. I don't feel hungry and get full very fast. I lost as of this morning 11 lbs!! I sip vitamin water between the shakes and soups in order not to get dehydrated. Took antibiotics for 3 days for prevention, Nexxium for 2 weeks and if needed Miralax for stool softener. Also take chewable and liquid vitamins. I do feel a little weak due to rapid weigh loss , so I take a nap when I come back from work. Besides my son that had the lap band a while ago, I know a few other people that did gastric sleeve as well as the lap band. A friend had the Gastric sleeve he was very sick for weeks, missed a month of work. I believe this procedure may not be as efficient as the sleeve for people that are morbid-obese but for the low BMI'ers it is the best option with the least risks. It is also reversible if needed. I did speak to a person that did it over 3 years ago, she lost 60 lbs but gained back 10. Still good numbers for me. She started at 220 , 5' 5". You can still eat chocolate and ice cream comfortably, so you always have to do the right choices, but right know I have no cravings and no hunger whatsoever!

I did the endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty this past Friday, was back to work this Monday. I told one workmate. Eventually I will tell everyone because I am starting to be questioned how I am loosing weight so fast, 10 lbs in less than a week. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi, thanks for the info, studies show that in Enddscopic sleeve the weight loss is much lower than the sleeve, but 8Kg is quite low. Did you follow up with the doctor? Are you still loosing weight? Where was it done? Is there a possibility that it stretched or it wasn't tight to begin with?

Hi, how did it go? I am having this procedure this week.

The stomach is stitched, no cuts, it is all done through the mouth, endoscopically. The risks are very minimum and what I hear you can go back to work very quickly. I was thinking about the balloon, but it is temporary and people have issues with nausea. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app

I am looking forward, my BMI is 35 and we have a very strong family history of diabetes and heart disease. I believe this is my best choice. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
