Day 3 Post-Op Help
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.

May bypass
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.

May bypass
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.

Duodenal Switch after Gastric Sleeve
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?

Asking advice!
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.

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?

Gerd
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!

I'm so frustrated with my GI doctor
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.

Introduction - Hello, newbie here! How long b4 ret to work?
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?

Has anyone had a band over their sleeve?
Revision might be an option for you. Have you talked with a sergon? Methodist Hospital has a weight loss center

I lied
[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.

I lied
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.
