Hi all, I am new here. I had my surgery Aug 30, and so far everything has been okay. Besides for last night, I was awoken by a pain. Like it felt like my stomach was creating a collapse on my lung. I couldn't lay down, nor sit up. I guess it could just be residual air that was pumped inside me from the surgery. Also, I haven't been able to make a bowel movement. All in all I am excited to lose weight, but I find myself already scared about future regain.

Let me know your thoughts

2 years and I've struggled losing since because GERD makes you feel hungry all the time. I right now have been on a roll though I have yet to see onderland. I've lost 25 pounds since November.

I feel like I should have never done this. Im sick of all this liquid and protein talk. Im sitting here reading other posts of people eating 2 or 3 spoonfuls of food.....really??? Is that how life is going to be??

I can deal with a baby plate or bowl but 2 or 3 tspns really???

Then- all the fat free sugar free c*** the nutritionist talks about has actually been proven to be worse for you. If you eat the foods in moderation thats the key....which before we all struggled with becaise we cpuld fill our 2 liter stomachs. I want to be healthy and lose weight obviously the reason I did this....but reading about the 2 to 3 bites is extreme ....too much no good...too little no good either

Stresseddddd ?????????????????????????????????????

I don't regret having sleeve but I don't like the reflux with rny the chance for reflux is less or none but either way your life and relationship with food is most definitely going to change.. Which ever you decide good luck.

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a very long time my stats hw 279 sw 254 cw 215 I'm not super happy with my numbers but I've struggled with Gerd and had surgery 1/29/2018 on my foot. When i had the surgery on my foot i was 202# and when i returned to work 11/12/2018 I weighed a wopping 240# since November I've been working hard to bring my numbers back down. Not happy with my sleeve because of the GERD i did try to qualify for revision surgery but was denied by BCBS of Illinois apparently GERD isn't medically necessary so I've been just trying my best to work through it. On an up note I'm seeing my surgeon again to try to get qualified for revision because of the insufficient weight loss. I have an appointment with my sleep dr to reevaluate my sleep apnea and i do have high blood pressure of which i take meds for. Hopefully I can qualify with bmi 43.5 sleep apnea and high blood pressure. We will see. I'll keep you posted.
