Yes, I had a ERD, which included an upper GI. The doctor found ulcers in my esophagus and stomach, and had to postpone my gastric sleeve surgery. I have to wait until the ulcers heal before I can have the surgery.

January surgeries?!
WellsK1959 replied to jessicaalyssa's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven’t had a food funeral yet, but I’m having those food shaking their curvy body cravings. It’s the, “I know you want me. Come and get it big boy!” -
January surgeries?!
WellsK1959 replied to jessicaalyssa's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just started my preop diet. I’m struggling with being so hungry. If I feel this way on the first day, I can imagine how I feel at the end of the preop? -

I’m glad you found a popcorn that made you feel good. Popcorn is a staple snack for me, and giving it up is like pulling teeth without nova cane -

How did you choose a goal weight?
WellsK1959 replied to PopsFury's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
For me, it was a combination of choosing a weight at my current stage of life and my doctor helped me choose. The doctor recommended that my ideal finished weight should be 200 pounds. Any more than that would be crazy! -
Why I eat baked potatoes, brown rice and whole grain bread
WellsK1959 replied to Creekimp13's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’ve been told that foods like rice and potatoes aren’t good for you. My dietary counselor was telling me that I should keep away from them. She offered things like zucchini noodles and cauliflower “rice”. How do you feel about them? -
any sleevers in their late 50's
WellsK1959 replied to tahoegirl96118's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’m 59, and have started my pre-op phase. The one thing I need to get motivated about is exercise. I have it listed as something I should do, but I just can’t get started. Any suggestions? -
*** September 2018 Sleevers ***
WellsK1959 replied to macadamia's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello! I’m new to the site, and I’m just want to hear about everyone’s experiences during each step of the process. I’ getting the gastric sleeve. I haven’t gotten my date yet, but I’ve seen the dietitian and the social worker. I’ve made my appointment with the psychologist to mentally prepare me for what’s to come. I’m thinking my operation will be close to Thanksgiving. I hope to hear some encouraging words from the group.
