FINALLY sleeved!

[wordygirl74 45]

YAY! I'm finally an official sleever! I had my band out in June and there was erosion so my surgeon wanted to wait on the sleeve. I went in on 8/29 and finally the deed was done!

The night of surgery I had a hard hard night, I was heaving something awful and was sure I had hurt my little tummy. My swallow test the next morning showed everything was perfect! I've had no problem getting my liquids in. My only issue has been an intense heartburn that doesn't want to go away. I'm taking Pepcid daily per doc's instructions but I don't think it's doing much.

I am soooo happy to be on the other side now and can't wait to see the scale moving!

You may have to change PPI's. I took Prilosec pre surgery for my slipped lapbands severe reflux but my dr switched me to Pepcid post op. The 2nd week of surgery, my reflux was totally gone but I developed pretty bad heartburn. I switched myself back to my Prilosec and it's worked perfectly for the last 7 weeks.

Told my dr at my 4 week post op exam and he was fine with it. Whatever works. Not all meds work for everyone the same. Good luck!
