  1. that is cool. I don't meet with the nutritionist until next month. Ill have to ask.
  2. In 15 days i dropped 21 pounds but my Dr says i need to increase my calories and protein. I have no hunger so trying to figure out how. He also says no soft food until week 4-5. i literally have about 200-300 calories a day if that.

  11. I was sleeved in 2016, on 10/22 had a revision to DS with hiatial hernia repair. 9 hours of surgery, wasnt sure it was the right thing but immediately no more GERD, 20 pounds down in 2 weeks, I can sleep. Wont front the revision surgery kicked my ass, but two weeks later i'm thinking it was the right thing to do

  15. Had my sleeve to DS revision. I was in OR like 8 hours. But I’m walking and takings sips of water and broth. Biggest pain is getting up and sitting down. Also had hiatal hernia repaired

  28. Why taking off? they cant make you. I pay way to much. They can get you oxygen from your ear.

  30. I'm sorry to hear this. Support is important but it doesn't have to be family. I had to learn to let them be and not discuss it at all and find support elsewhere. In my case its forums and a coworker. I even connected with folks who took the pre-op class with me
  31. maybe do some writing? I don't think anything makes it go away but you can start getting excited and writing out how you are going to celebrate milestones.
  32. Hope all works out! I had two EGD-a month apart . Biggest side effect was I slept so good after getting home. Was happy the next day was Saturday. Sore throat was worse on the second one. I am a revision patient. Sleeve to DS
  33. I am a sleeve patient now having a revision due to GERD/reflux and other issues. I wanted the bypass and my Dr talked me into the sleeve because of my age and its success was close to bypass, I was also sold on the less invasive aspect etc. Should have went with my gut to avoid a second surgery.
