Since having the sleeve surgery July 1, I have now lost 105 lbs. (340-235). Many thanks go to this forum and it's members for the information and testimonies that helped me make the decision to have the sleeve surgery. To say that I am glad that I had surgery and love my sleeve would be an understatement. Thanks again!!! :)

I am male, 38, and from NC. I was "sleeved" July 1 by Dr. Rodriguez in Juarez at Star Medica. I have been very lucky. My recovery was quick and I have never had problems getting in enough Water as some have. After going back on solid food, I have not had any problems eating anything. I have never had any problems with "taste" as some has had. Luckily for me everything still tastes the same.

I am pleased with my weight loss to this point, but I probably would have lost more if I had keep my Protein intake up. I try to eat food high in Protein when I eat but have not been getting enough. I just got tired of the shakes. I still have one occasionally or a Protein Bar but have not been doing it daily, as I should.

I have been taking PPI's since surgery and am trying to get off of them due to possible side effects. I have not taken one in almost a week and don't seem to be having any problems other than feeling that I need to eat more often. The PPI's do seem to suppress the appetite.

I will be happy to answer any questions. Thanks goes to everyone who have helped me along the way with posts and testimonies from this forum.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
