I was just sleeved monday morning at 8am.
i have nit been able to drink many liquids because of the pain in the center of my abdomen. Above my navel. It feels right where my intestines would start after my new stomach ends.
it is like painful pressure/blockage feeling as the liquid passes through, then a bunch of popping bubbles, then an occasional burp.
is this just gas? Is this common?
Have you asked your doctor to prescribe you metformin. Its what us diabetics take to curb those sugar cravings.
Since i have been on it. I have had no cravings and it also suppresses your appetite
So i had an egd back in 2006 and was diagnosed with a small hiatal hernia.
My surgeon now says she will repair it and give me the sleeve. She thinks i will be fine on the sleeve but says that I can always do a revision later if need be. She wants to take the least complicated approach first
I am scheduled for a Sleeve this Friday however I have gerd. It is manageable now only really happens when eating certain foods.
This is my main concern with the sleeve for me. Bypass scares me. I can take the pain and nauseau from the sleeve but the complications from bypass worry me more than gerd.
So how bad did you get gerd after the sleeve?
