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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
