Does vaping cause ulcers or just smoking cigarettes or cannabis?

@Jmuldune Wow, what a coincidence. I'm 54 right now and just had the SADI. So, of I work hard I can expect results like that at 63!! Hey one thing you said though, you said you wanted to eventually be able to eat normally. Is that the case? Has your sleeve stretched over time?

I had the SADI-S 3 days ago and I can already drink 12 ounces over a 5 minute period. Seems like a lot. I'm hoping I can't EAT 12 ounces! Does anyone know how that works?

I think the BMI has to be above 50. Mine was 51, I believe. It seems like a great procedure from all I've read.

Thanks. Yes, I had a very tight band around my belly and was in post-op for 8 hours while they found a bed. Back pain is subsiding. Do you know how many ounces your stomach was reduced to? I'm thinking 4-5. Hydration is the biggest challenge right now. Can't get enough. Congratulations on your weight loss! That's awesome!

I got the SADI 2 days ago and I'm having lots of back pain. I know it's similar to the duodenal switch and I was wondering if anybody else had back pain.
