Thanks everyone for your suggestions and help. I am on Protonix once a day, but nothing else. I am still drinking, just not as much as before the pain. I definately don't want to end up back in the hospital. I left a message for Richmond, but I guess they are closed today. Hopefully they will get back to me tomorrow... I am still eating and drinkng despite the pain, just not as much as I was thanks again and I will let you know what the dr says Sherri

Thanks everyone for your reponse. I am taking a PPI every morning, I left a message for my Dr but have not heard back yet. will let you know what he says Sherri

I was sleeved 6/22 and except for the usual incisinal pain all was right until this past friday. Now everything I eat causes pain. It almost feels like my stomach has spasams or is contracting or something like that. I have not gone off my diet at all, on full liquids now. Even water hurts now. I am calling Richmond tomorrow but was wondering if anyone else who is sleeved has had this happen? Please let me know Thanks Sherri

I had surgery a week ago, just wanted to say great job on the pre-op weight loss and exercise :lol0: I was nervous too up till walking into the OR, but for some reason when I laid on the table it just all went away.. I wish you the best and hope you get past your anxiety soon Sherri

thanks so much everyone for your input and voting in the poll i really appcreciate it Sherri :-)

I am lucky so far to not have any physical hunger. I was just wondering how many others have been so lucky, and how long it has lasted for each person. Thanks for your input Sherri

Hi everyone, I don't need a refill yet, but I am curious... do they even give you a refill on the liquid vicodin? I have a very low tolerance to pain and have already gone through almost half the bottle. (no worries I am following the dosage directions) thanks for info Sherri

thanks so much everyone... feeling better everyday.. congrats to everyone else on the sleeved side now.. :-) Sherri

I had Dr Fisher as my primary and Dr Baggs assisting. From Kaisier Richmond, Ca Mine was about his 30th sleeve. no complications or deaths. But he has done hondreds of full bypass's with few complications. he even said to me, if you can do the full bypass, but have problems with the sleeve then there is something wrong since the sleeve is only about 1/3rd the surgery that an RNY is... I really liked dr Fisher, he was strict but kind and I really felt he cares about his patients and their success. Sherri

I take prozac in capsule form. Have had no problems. My dr said all my medications could still be taken.

But will for sure be at the next one. still keeping all my fluids down and finally passed some gas!!

Hi Mary, no words of wisdom here, but just wanted to let you know I am having surgery on the 22nd too. I am nervous and scared too, and I wonder to if I can still do it on my own. I have lost over 100 pounds 3 times and various other lbs over the years only to gain it back. I think I have done more damage to my body with the yo-yo ing then just staying fat.. I am 41 and it gets harder each time, I know I could probably loose it again.. but can I keep it off is the question. I believe this will be the tool to help me keep it off, that is why I have decided to go ahead with it.. don't know if this will help you.. but just wanted to let you know you're not alone... wishing you the best Sherri

Hi Becca I have just been following the pre-op diet in the binder. I also quit diet pepsi and any type of caffinee. My appitite is much less since giving up the caffinee..so although I started out eating everyting listed for the pre-op diet.. I now just eat till I am full. I also do my exercise bike for 25 min 3-4 times a week.. hope that helps.. Good luck to day Tamra.. and thanks everyone for the well wishes.. :-)

thanks Ali, Yes I am surprised at how fast I moved to.. but I am not complaining !!!! they first gave me a date of July 13th, but later that day called and said the 22nd opened up... I grabed it..
