    I don’t think they retest you. They didn’t test me. I quit shortly before surgery. All will be fine. Feel free to ask me whatever you want.

    I had doctor malhoutra from crystal run. I’m almost a year out. Feeling good. Had an issue with Hair loss but other than that no complications. Been doing really well. Curious to know if he’s your doctor too. Dr Judd is also with him.

    All of what you are feeling is totally normal. Your body just went through major surgery. It takes a while for your emotions to balance out. Hang In there. As you progress through the food stages it gets easier. Be kind to yourself. Best of luck! 👍

    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.

    Letsgetgoing2018 got a reaction from ProudGrammy in 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.

    Letsgetgoing2018 got a reaction from GreenTealael in 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.

    The constipation! Ugh. I unfortunately had to go to the ER due to painkiller induced Constipation. It was terrible and embarrassing. I was only advised to take two 100mg capsules of Colace after surgery but that did NOT help me. They had to give me an enema in one of the ER rooms while I sat on a bedside commode. I apologized over and over to the nurse but she and her assistant were angels about it.
    I have found that milk of magnesia and Miramax powder are the best, man!

    In other words, stay ahead of the constipation. It sucks balls.

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