My first
Oh yeah I get that every once in a while , I know I had eaten way to much last night. And then I topped it off with a big gulp of water. Big mistake lol But yes it's like a warm feeling that creeps up from my waist up, then I get all hot and then I feeling I need to throw up...and I do and it's gone as fast as it came.... For me it I just need to not over eat and to be more mindful of the process. That seems to have been the "hard" part for me. My first 7 months I did not know what I was doing. I am 1 year out 57 years old and finally lost 53 lbs. It was my mind it was not working with my new pouch.... But as I got used to my new way eating/thinking things worked out

Did anyone wear any compression garmets the first few weeks?
I'm Sorry I thought you were speaking of the abdominal thing. I did. And it really helped with getting and out of bed. Really only wore it for like 2 weeks and I was good. They gave me one after surgery. The next day I had to ask for it. Good luck

GERD before gastric sleeve
I am almost a year out and still have issues. I do take oprenisole but not even close to what I was taking before surgery. I was taking 2 a day (Rx]) religiously now I only take them when I need to and no prescription just otc. I thought about the other surgery, and chosed not to go so invasive. But that was me. Go with you gut. Good luck and keep us posted with your choice. ❤??

DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY HAIR, JUST THE WEIGHT
I too was worried about that. But I am 6 months out now and really did not have any issues with hair loss. I mean I had a tad more than typically but I also started taken a collagen powder and that seems to be helping.
