I didn't see a recent Sleeve buddy post so I thought I would start one. Feel free to post and look for a buddy! Anyone in the Austin Texas recently get sleeved or will be soon? Would love to make some local sleeve friends!

I was sleeved 2/19 and I'm struggling with gas pain. Did you have any issues with gas?

Yes, the doctor prescribed me Hyoscyamine 125mg chewable tablets for the stomach cramps and they worked wonders.

Thanks! I'm going to call my doctor now. If my gas pains were under control, I would have no issues at all.

You are very welcome!! Additionally, I needed extra nausea pills because that was a huge issue for myself for at least 2 months

Had my sleeve done august 29, 2017. Im here for anyone who has questions before and after procedure of the sleeve. Im 6 months out and willing to lend an ear or advice to the best of my abilities, i really didnt have anyone when my journey began so would like to be there for you. My highest weight was 277 lost 50lbs on my own then gained then gained 30lbs right back, so i decided to have the sleeve. I was 244 the day of surgery, and now im at 181. I live in Independence Missouri and im 46 years old. I included before surgery pic and after, im so happy with my decision and would love to share my experiences this far.

I'm looking forward to my surgery but I'm scared of failing after I'm able to eat.

      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!!
