Side Effects of Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

[Wendyfm 494]

I'm having the same problem and it is affecting my quality of life. Did you find any solutions? I'm almost 2 months post op and have only had one satisfactory BM since surgery. It's driving me nuts. My next thing to try is a colonoscopy prep.

I used Miralax regularly and Fiber pills and prunes. Prunes worked the best. You have to use any of these regularly before you see results.

Cashews for constipation!!! (lol) And not much else, there are learning curves and adjustments in the beginning - belching, farting, learning portions, minor food aversions, exhaustion, etc. It varies and changes as you progress. True complications are rare - but you can look that up. Major side effects are usually GERD and strictures and this is not predictable as to who gets these.

I had GERD for 15 years before the surgery and I have it now. The surgeon is hoping that it will go away given enough time after the surgery and enough weight loss. I’m well below my weight when I was first diagnosed with GERD, so I’m hoping it’s just a matter of letting things heal some more.

Other side effects I’ve experienced so far include having to get your pants taken in by a tailor, fitting comfortably in seats in theaters and on airplanes, and my wife being able to wrap her arms around me.

And a parrot or another bird in a pear tree, seems to be the only thing the last poster missed. Seriously the good health, thinner body and increased lifespan make up for any detriment. Go for it my friend.

At 2 months, the only thing that I can suggest is Miralax. It worked wonders for me, but at 15 months, I mix espresso with my Protein Shakes to keep me moving on the daily.
