Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers! The polyps are benign! (Happy dance) :). I'm so thankful!

I see my surgeon this Thursday and will see what he says about this and ramifications for surgery.

I have RA also. I did have the bypass surgery. I stopped taking any IBU probably a month before my surgery. I had never been told I could not use steroids.

I would be more concerned with the GERD that can occur with the Sleeve, I think.

I am glad the polyps were benign. Did they say it would be normal for you to have them return? The reason I ask is because 4 years ago my GI dr found colon polyps which were pre cancerous (2 of them) and he removed them. Then 2 years later he found 4 more. Also pre cancerous. My father had colon cancer so I have to stay on top of it.

If you have the surgery I wonder if they would have to allow for more room in the case that they return. I don't know if that makes sense or sounds weird. I just know that there is not much room in the stomach after surgery for food and if there are polyps which grow back, well you get what I am saying.

I hope what ever is decided is the best for you. I had horrible heart burn and Gerd before the sleeve surgery (even to the point of having a chronic cough from it), I was on Rantidine and it didn't work without the help of tums and gaviscon. After the surgery and up to day 57 (today) I have not had one problem with heartburn. No waking up at night in mid vomiting of fire. They do have me on protonics since surgery for the healing effect (was on it prior and it did not control the heartburn). In my past when I lost weight the heartburn went away, so I am thinking the pounds shed has fixed the heartburn/Gerd.

I hope you can get some relief and some answers.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
