Just bought aloe Vera juice. Just got 2 liter bottles at drugstore. Maybe it will heal the staple line faster. And prevent a leak. Anybody try this? Is aloe Vera juice nasty?

One things for sure. I'm not ever having this surgery again. It was a hellish 3 weeks post op. It was very painful. I thought I was going to die a few times. Not to scare anybody. Everyone is different. But I am also disfigured now.

OMG it sounds like you were one of the (very) unlucky ones - I'm so sad for you.

Again I'm sure it would be in the DR BEST INTEREST to fix anything he has done wrong.

The old saying someone "someone gets good service they tell 1 person, they get bad service they'll tell everyone!"

Yeah something needs to be done. I want to try to lose weight but if I'm only down 10 lbs or nothing by week 12. Than I will know for sure it was a failure and he can't blame it on swelling or healing etc. And blaming me for overeating is pointless because that's why I had the surgery in the first place. I am doing protein and staying away from sugars. But not cutting out natural sugars. And I'm not drinking soda anymore. So if there's no weight loss by than something is really really wrong here. The only foods that fill me up are bulky foods. Like chicken and real thick heavy things. But it takes way more than a normal sleeved person can eat. Almost as much as before. I'd say if I lost any weight so far its minimal. Maybe just a few lbs at week 6. I need a scale to know for sure. I haven't lost any clothes sizes I know that. They do fit a tad better though.

I just had aloe Vera juice straight up nasty. But good for me hopefully. It tastes like fleet oral enema if you've ever had that. Except with a planty aftertaste so you don't puke. Anyway if my problem is due to a leak or acid this will take care of both. I have 2 liters. Don't wheez the juice.

It's good for ulcers also !!

There are flavored aloes too that are pretty good. I drink one that is mango, it is pretty tastey. http://www.aloelife....sp?productID=15

If you don't mind me asking.. What happened to you after surgery?
