Good Morning!

Nausea resolved on its own, but chronic fatigue has taken its place. I truly give up
It is scarey when young ones go, especially when they are so close to your own age. My GERD got so bad that I revised to RNY. No more GERD! I hope you are finding some relief from yours...I know it's no fun.
Again, it's so good to see you pop up again. You went through sooo much with your leak. I don't hear much about anyone having a leak anymore, but many sleevers are having GERD problems.
I hang out on the RNY board now though I very seldom post. There is a whole new group of great people and absolutely none of the fighting or nastiness that went on back in our day 11 or 12 years ago. The "What are you eating today?" string is always good.
Hugs to you!

It was a shocker, didn't realize he was only 4 years older than I. He was a great surgeon! My body just didn't want to cooperate!!! LoL . . I'm still doing well! Only thing I fight now is GERD. My sleeve still works great when I fill it the proper nutrients! I maintain a size 16 but, would like to get down to 14/12.. I hope you're doing well yourself.

I'm sure no one remembers me! I was one of the leaky sleeve survivors of 2008. But, wanted to share that my surgeon passed away at the age of 53. I'm sharing incase others that may of had Dr. Klassen also and the life changing experience he had given us!

GERD is very common after VSG. It is painful to live with and can even result in esophagus cancer so get medical help immediately.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Talk to your medical team about this, definitely. I would guess that all those symptoms are caused by excess stomach acid. They may need to adjust your medication.
A week after surgery, my throat started feeling closed and tight. It scares me and it's very tight and comes on randomly or after a meal... Anyone else experience this? Pain in the throat and a slight upper chest pain too?
