  1. your more likely to get hiatal hernia from bypass surgery stomach ulcers or perforation etc etc etc. from the bypass..
  2. i have taken 3 nsaid the last few weeks due to some nagging back pain issues no problem btw way my bariatric doctor and surgeon said you can occasionally take them thank goodness i choose the sleeve over the bypass
  3. i been on nexium for a few years now and that has kept my gerd under control pre and after surgery
  4. the stomach wll keep rumbling lol it still does for me almost 5 months out ...
  5. i had extreme stomach area pain for 10 days post op my stomach area was all red i had to take narcotics 4 pills a day after that over time the pain subsided as the bruises were healing..
  6. so far in a week short of 5 months i have lost a total of 94 pounds not shabby
  7. i lost 18 pounds first 16 days i was 347;4 surgery day..then next time i was weighed i lost 35 pounds in 41 days.. then i lost another 24 pounds in 48 days.. then i get weighed tomorrow been another 39 days since i was weighed last ..
  8. could be venous insuffieincy in legs or peripheral neuropathy if it is not restless legs..
  9. i had 4 procedures done on my legs front and back both legs..it has not improved my leg issues...
  10. another benefit of the sleeve over the bypass with the sleeve you can occasionally take nsaid.. while the bypass it is 100% no..
  11. i have seen protein bars in my local supermarket 10 gm of protein and only 90 calories i think i will try them..
  12. i had the sleeve 4 months ago and had terrible gerd for 10 years before the surgery.. i take daily nexium keeps my gerd in check
  13. you can always take nexium to combat your gerd for the sleeve..
  14. no one should have any regret less than 4 months out and i already have lost 85 pounds and can fit into clothes i had first time in 4 years even jackets i can close up and zip with added room to spare
  15. most people prefer the sleeve by far over the bypass that says it all..
  16. how much weight have you lost since your surgery?
  17. congrats on your new journey in life about to begin
  18. does that annoying gurgling sound ever go away lol..
  19. more long term risks having the bypass like low blood sugar stomach ulcers vitamin deficiency etc etc etc..
  20. i started losing my hair years ago so no worries lol..
  21. i saw one doc video and he said converting to a bypass from a sleeve is not worth it for a extra 15- 25 pound weight loss... unless you have serious gerd issues.. if you want the best wls the duodenal switch would be easier for a sleeve patient since it is part of the switch surgery.. but you have to spend 100-200 dollars month on vitamins alone for that procedure..
  22. i think it is because of a smaller stomach your furnace is turned down lol..
  23. i was freezing cold in the beginning but the feeling went away within 2 weeks...
  24. that what i take 3 times a day i bought the 500 chewable citrate from this site..
