  1. I remember thinking after my sleeve thinking, "this is worse than my c-section." Speak with your doctor's office. There is no reason to be in that much pain.
  2. The funny thing is true
  3. Thanks! I never used peppermint. I am just happy to have my date but afaid too! I hope that this just gets me to my healthiest self.
  4. I really don't complain about the pain. I tried to just push through. Its just gotten ridiculous. My husband does night runs to get tums or Metamucil. I need some now. However, I am at work and forgot them at home again.
  5. I have severe GERD. With my sleeve, lW 189 CW 218. I have an awkward sleeve. I just want to stop the burn and lose more weight. I worked out. The shape of my body changed but my weight didn't. I got depression. The scale started to go up again. The entire time, I was in pain. Additionally, there is a hernia. My date has changed to May 16, 2019. I am happy, afraid and a little confused. I really didn't know that something would help until recently. My sleeve was done 8/14.
  6. Hi, I in the process of being approved for revision. My doctor plan is to go from sleeve to ? I was sleeved in 2014. I recently found out my sleeve is not a sleeve at all. That is why I have GERD. I also have a hernia. I been suffering for awhile. My GERD gets me up in the middle of the night. The bad stuff like bread does not give me reflux. However, get harburn from water. I was testing this week there is damage. I just didn't want cancer. I also have a hernia. I am happy to have this second chance. I am also worried. Can you share with me a little of your studies and why you did the revision?
  7. The only people who will know I had revision surgery? My husband and kids. The last time it was to much attention and pressure. It triggered me to eat and hide. I have faced most of my past trauma. This time it's my business what I weight.
  8. Hi, I hope you do well. I am also having a revision from sleeve to bypass. What happen with your sleeve? How long since your sleeve surgery?
  9. Okay, I don't know you or him. However, if a doctor blamed me for my GERD? I fire his butt, write a bad review and move on to somebody else. GERD is not uncommon. Don't be a victim. Find someone new. You deserve better!
  10. Each pound down? You closer to your weightloss goal! Each pound down you are getting healthier. Congrats on a job well done!!! Keep it moving down!!!
  11. I too hope you are in your room recovering. Heal well and I hope everything went great.
  12. Good luck and a speedy recovery
  13. Thank you for answering! Had you plateaued with your sleeve?
  14. Did you lose weight after the revision?
  15. If he continues to refuse your request? Then get a referral to another doctor connected to your bariatric surgeon. I am sure you can work this out. It might push your date back. However, you can get it done.
  16. I understand that everyone is different. How long did you take off the first time? When you went back to work did you feel ready? The second time was it easier?
  17. Revision might be an option for you. Have you talked with a sergon? Methodist Hospital has a weight loss center
  18. [emoji41] I hear you. "Cheating" is often a response giving by others have their own issues with weight/body image. I always attack back and educate.
  19. I hate the "cheating" thing. That usually comes from someone who is jealous or just a butt in general. Tell them the only thing you cheated was death.
  20. Usually it goes by pretty fast. Remember what you are getting is a cool tool. Prepare for this gift.
  21. I am going through testing. I have GERD and other issues related to my sleeve. Currently, this sucks. However, I am happy to have this second chance.
  22. No problem! I am learning as time goes by. Do well at your appointment!
  23. Depends on your insurance and the requirments of the center were you are seeking services.
  24. Do great tommrrow [emoji41]
