If you didn't have this problem before surgery it's probably ketosis. If you did have it before surgery and still have your tonsils it might be tonsil stones.

Congratulations! Looks like you guys are having a blast! I can't wait to join the 50's club in November. To me life just keeps getting better with age. Live it up girl ?

Congratulations! You look amazing ?

Catherine you're doing amazing! It's so wonderful to see how this surgery has changed our lives for the better and it just gets better every day. Congratulations ?

Wow time flies! Seems like yesterday we were talking about how to heat up your liquids so they would go down easier! Now look at you 100 lbs down! That's amazing...congratulations ?

I'm doing great! I'm down 64.7 lbs. since my surgery and I feel so much better already. I'm off my blood pressure pills and EVERYTHING is easier now. I don't feel self conscious anymore either. I didn't realize how much that affected my life. Looks like you're doing great too! Congratulations! ?

First off congratulations on your upcoming surgery! You made it! Second, before your surgery, your surgeon will probably come in to talk to you. Take this time to ask him if he/she can take extra care of getting all the gas they can out of you before they close you up. It really makes a difference and it will be on their mind going into surgery so they might not get complacent on that. As far as hospital list, like other posters have said, chapstick for sure, hand sanitizer is VERY important, slippers, chargers, your own pillow, a hat you can throw on to do your walks if you want since you'll probably have bedhead most of the time and comfy clothes to go home in.

Wow you're doing great! Congratulations ?

At least you have an answer to what was wrong and a cure for it! I'm so relieved and happy for you that there will eventually be an end to your suffering ?

Congratulations! I hope you have a speedy recovery ?

Welcome Greg! It's great to have you ?

What helped me was heating up a mug of half cranberry juice and half water with a pack of Splenda and sipping on it. For some reason it soothed my stomach but everyone is different. I hope you can find something you can tolerate to keep you hydrated.

I take my multi vitamin with my breakfast then set the alarm on my phone for three two hour increments after that. I don't worry about the calcium in my foods because my body will just eliminate the excess.

Good job! You're doing great! ?

Congratulations!! I bet being able to walk around all day was also a lot easier ?

Umm....I would totally take this advice. That's scary!

Great advice! My surgeon asked me what I wanted and was comfortable with even though he and his partner were pioneers in laparoscopic RNY. I never felt pressured to get one surgery over the other.

That's exactly how mine were! I had serious doubts about the Estroven even working for me they were so bad, but it did ?

I'm surprised they are pushing you to get the sleeve with your history of gerd. It would make me wonder if they're more confident in preforming the sleeve rather than RNY. You might want to get a second opinion.

Before VSG. I started going through menopause at 42. I'll be 50 in November.

I went through menopause already and the night sweats and hot flashes were the only symptom I had BUT they were horrible and embarrassing. The one thing that I found that finally made them go away was Estroven. My sister just started getting them too and it has also helped her. It takes about two months to fully kick in. I'm still waiting to lose enough weight to be cold all the time though. I can't wait til that happens!

Thank you soooo much! I take the GNC calcium citrate too and I have to eat 1/2 at a time because I hate them. I'm going to order these right now ?

I'm almost 4 months out and drank out of a straw last week with no problem.

That's great! Congratulations ?

Congratulations on your new job offers!!! ? I'm so happy for you ?
