Finally I am sleeved but I am not liking it so far. my stomach is so filled with gas that it is unberable. I am able to keep down liquids but I am starting to question my judgementon this. Hopefully I will feel better soon

Also try some GasX chewables. You don't have to swallow them and it's worth a try. They are cherry creme flavor. Good luck!

the dissolvable strips work too!

Yes the strips work good and fast too, but I am not into the minty flavor of those!

yeah the minty flavor is kinda icky - but the cinnamon ones are tasty!

I was sleeved on Monday too and my biggest issue is acid reflux. I cannot sleep with one pillow and it is waking me up all night. Dr Garcia gave me plenty of meds and they are working but the acid is making me miserable. I'm going to try to go out today.

Yes finally the gas has subsided. I have been walking and walking and walking. I am still tender but i feel alot better. Being that I am diabetic I get nervous when I do not eat, but my sugar has been normal. So the protein shakes was replaced with the gluceria shakes and I am surprised I am able to tolerate it. But it helps keeps your blood sugar level. Although I do feel week if I walk a long periods of time, I am starting to like my sleeve.

That's good news!

take your pain meds and walk walk walk! Drink your fluids also

Glad things are beginning to turn around for you. Keep up the good work.

It will get easier, I am 9 weeks out and believe me, those first couple weeks are hard. Good Luck, let us know how you are doing.
