Blood Pressure Medicine And CPAP Use After Surgery
I was sleeved July 10th and have lost about 60 pounds. Started having dizzy spells about a month after surgery so my doc cut my blood pressure med in half since my blood pressures were normalizing. Cpap stopped almost immediately after surgery. No longer snore and sleep through the night. Having a sleep study in a another month or so to confirm that I am free of the cpap for good.

Two questions - 4days post op
My stomach moans and makes wierd noises after I drink or eat. I try not to talk on the phone directly after eating or drinking because it’s embarrassing.

More discomfort than pain. Walking and moving is Key to releasing the gas.

Flying after sleeve...what’s allowed on the plane?
Hello. I’m traveling from NY to Orlando in February-wondering if I’m allowed to bring crystal lite in my bag? What about water bottles? I will check out the airline website to see what’s allowed but wondering if you all have any tips for travel. It’s not a long flight for me but I want to have access to water and can’t drink without the crystal lite. Any other travel tips? I’ll be seven months post op at travel time.

Boiled egg
At six months out, eggs are tolerated by my pouch thankfully because I love eggs. One boiled egg fills me up.

I am six months post sleeve and still can’t tolerate plain water. Have to use crystal lite. My tummy just doesn’t like it plain.

How long did you take before going back to work?
I work from home at a desk job. Took two full weeks off. Biggest hurdle for me was the exhaustion during the day. Had to take a nap during my lunch break. Don’t rush going back if you don’t have to. Give your body as much time to rest and heal as possible.
