Prayers Please

I can't believe your surgeon gave you Celebrex after VSG surgery!! It's an NSAID' date=' and brings a very high risk for marginal (bleeding) ulcers...particularly in gastric patients! My surgeon would have a stroke, and then beat me, if I told him I'd taken Celebrex after surgery! Please....be very careful of that drug, or any other NSAIDs (like Advil or Ibuprofen)....marginal ulcers are nasty, often require surgery to repair, and can be life-threatening.

You definitely need a second opinion.....IMHO.[/quote']

My surgeon made me stop Celebrex the first time I met him. Absolutely any NSAIDs and he'd flip out.

HUGE no no. Those things are rough on normal stomachs let alone a tiny one.

What about your primary doctor? Do you have one you trust you can talk to and get a referral from? Your primary has your overall health in mind - not just the surgery - so he/she may have insight and ideas and will hopefully go to bat for you.

I agree with everyone - you have to own your health and find out what is going on. What state are you in? Maybe put a note on the main page that you need a referral for your state.

Praying for you now - and asking God to heal you...

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
