How long before we are allowed sushi? Like a California roll? Has anyone tried one yet?

@@elturner my doc said be careful with rolls because of the rice and that you don't really chew a lot with small ones. I've been eating sashimi like a bandit since day 15

@@sabrowne20 where they glued?

I had an allergic reaction to the glue. My Dr has only seen it happen 3 (now 4 times) in his 9 years of doing this.

So look at mine and tell me what you think. Mine was healing on this pic. Gives you a comparison. Even if it's an allergy, the only thing to do is put benedryl cream where the rash is, and take benedryl at night. The itching is insane !!!!!!

The doctor called it dermabond I think? Is it safe to put benadryl cream on even though my incisions aren't completely healed?

@@sabrowne20 NO, do not put it ON the dermabond. Put it on the rash around it, if there is one. But yours looks soon different than mine. I'd call your DR and find out :)

Good morning fellow October sleevers! I've got a question... This Thursday will be my 2 week surgi-versary and I am able to take a pretty normal swallow of liquid. I don't take more than one at a time but it doesn't feel bad at all of I take more than a little sip. Is this normal at this point?

Trvgrl, its quite normal. By two weeks post op, I could drink a few normal sips together with no issues.

I ask my doctor about this because it's seeing so many people have trouble getting in even small sips. I was concerned maybe they really didn't sleeve me, lol. He said those folks have more swelling inside their sleeve. I didnt, thank goodness and things have gone smoothly for me. I have been able to get all my Protein and liquids in since day 4 or 5.

Peek... That's exactly my situation! I had a hard time getting my liquid in for the first few days but when day 5 hit I was able to get all Protein and liquid in without much of an issue. If I didn't have my little xray of my swallow test showing my tiny tummy I wouldn't believe it either. I also haven't had any problem with gerd. I was worried about that before surgery even though I didn't have a problem then either. Im grateful it's all gone smoothly and I'm trying to keep it that way.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
