I had the worst goosebumps after one swig!! Ick!

I am pre-op and have not 100% decided which surgery I will ask for. I am really just hoping for any tips as I get into this process even further.

oh okay, well I had the Sleeve. I think it was the best choice for me. I didn't want any rerouting of my insides. I also didn't want to be on several Vitamins the rest of my life. I take some now but I believe you take more with the bypass. It's really up to you and what you feel is right for you. Although a lot of people say they don't get dumping syndrome with the Sleeve I can tell you that sweets give me a horrible headache and make me feel bad and I'm almost a year out. Which ever you decide on, one tip would be to not bulk up on Protein and other items before surgery. Your taste for them will change after and you don't want to be stuck with stuff you don't like anymore.

Oh also this site is great for resources and support. Lots of supportive people on here but you will find those who will be a pain in the butt with their comments. Just ignore them like we all do!

I am back and forth with the sleeve and bypass... I may just ask the surgeon what he thinks is best considering I am almost 25. I honestly hope that with whichever surgery I get... I do have the dumping syndrome.. I'm come from a long line of hard headedness haha. As for the Protein I have definitely heard that, and for now I'm just buying single packets.

Oh I know about being a hard head, I was glad that when I tried sweet stuff I got the headache. It stopped me from having more. lol

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
