Immediately !! I coughed that whole first night after surgery and kept my roommate up it was so bad. I ended up having a revision 11 months ago because of esophagitis D and a hiatal hernia. I was afraid of getting the bypass too but as far as weight loss and maintaining it has been much easier. I honestly liked the sleeve better because of the restriction and being able to eat all foods, but the flip side of that was I constantly had to watch my weight and struggled just to stay around 170. I was 180 the day of my revision and this morning I weighed in at 150.8. This is the lowest I have ever been and usually maintain 155 to 159 with no stress. I had a temporary crown put on 2 weeks ago and dropped 8 lbs because I am not getting the food I usually eat because of pain. I go in on Monday for the permanent crown and am sure my weight will bounce back up. lol Good luck to you and whatever surgery you choose.

Thank you for your honest review! I don’t have GERD but I’ve read that it is pretty common to have issues after the sleeve, even years after. I’m planning to only do this surgery once so maybe the bypass is the way to go.

Hello!

I’m considering the gastric sleeve because I was nervous about the bypass. I want to know how many of you developed hiatal hernias and/or GERD after gastric sleeve. If so, how much time after?

I did. I had an extremely weird after surgery complication but other then that everything has been going well. I had almost no pain but was very gassy...I still help haha

Sorry to hear about your complication but I’m glad to know that other than the gas part you are doing well! I’m super nervous about my surgery on the 26th!!

I have no regrets for mine that I had 4/8!! You got this!! I was nervous the week of surgery but so far it’s definitely worth it. 20 pounds down just from surgery. ❤️

Glad to hear!! Did you also get the bypass?

I got super nervous a week before my surgery. I had the sleeve done on 4/12

I think it’s probably normal

That makes me feel better!
How are you feeling?

Congratulations! My surgery is tomorrow morning and I have had moments of nervousness. I think what you are feeling is normal! And most of the people here who have already had the surgery and are several months/years out all seem to say the same thing...They wish they had done it sooner! Good Luck!

Congrats and good luck!
That is good to hear! I guess is just my sugar/carb addiction trying to trick me but deep down I know I need this and it will save me!!
Hope everything will go as planned tomorrow, sending positive vibes!

Hello everyone!
I’m scheduled for a gastric bypass on 4/26 so a week from tomorrow! I’m excited but also very nervous to the point that I’m second guessing if I selected the right choice. Has this happened to anyone? I want to point out that I didn’t get this anxious/nervous until a few days ago as the date gets closer.

I’ve been doing my pre-op diet since last Monday, which is basically low carb-low fat.
I enjoy the premier Proteins and that is the only Protein Shakes that I’ve used so far, but I hear it might be a good idea to stock on unflavored and clear Protein as well.

Any word of advice?
