Hi, I was sleeved on the 26th. I have started taking the post op antibiotics and the reflux pain and pressure was so bad I have been up all night. I have to take this antibiotic for over a week and don't know how I'm gonna keep taking these pills every 12 hours. I so do not want to sound like a wimp but I have literally been up all night and fly home today. Did anyone else run into this problem and have any suggestions?

Why are you on antibiotics? Are you on reflux meds?

Call your doctor/surgeon.

I also got my surgery on the 26th and I'm sure hoping I'm not going to regret what I've done down the line. I had a lapband since 2006, it has to be removed because I had to have hernia repair and it wasn't safe to replace the band, hence the sleeve. I have had terrible reflux and feel all around like sh*t!! Hope this all goes away because I really can't undo what's been done.

Hello ladies, the antibiotics were just a normal part o the post op protocol. I did call the surgeon, turns ut I was not supposed to crush the pills, I was to swallow them whole. I did that with some watery yogurt and it went down with no problem. I also picked up and OTC reflux med and I am 100%!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
