Toradol is an NSAID. It can cause all sorts of unpleasant GI side effects including vomiting, bloating, stomach pain. NSAIDS...even injectables...are associated with marginal ulcers in bypass and sleeve. They used to be used, but are very rarely used anymore because of emerging data about this problem. It's a wonderful drug for pain. Works great. But the pain from gastric sleeve is minimal and the risks do not outweigh the benefits. I would not take Toradol, I had a perfect recovery, too. Walked over two miles in the ward the day of my surgery and couldn't stop smiling. Felt terrific. I took as few pain meds as they would allow. Had no problem drinking and progressing. Was released about 24 hours after my surgery. Regular over the counter liquid Tylenol worked great for me at home.

So exciting!!! I can’t wait to get my date locked in! I hope that you have a date soon too! We’ve got this! HW: 252 CW: 252 Surgery date: TBD - End of May possibly 5’4”

LOL Yes! I live in MA and grew up in the Boston area. I keep saying I'm going to move because screw winter, but this is home.

Get a snow cone machine it will help to keep the ice in your mouth longer. I found out it will help

You will read hundreds of positive reviews here about Dr Illan. Not sure if I've ever seen a bad one,. You have to go with who you are comfortable with. If you can live with the bad review that caused you to cancel with belite, great. I didn't use Dr Illan, but he would be one of my top choices based on reviews, and my interactions with their team. Good luck! Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app

Congrats! My final appointment was today and they are preparing everything to end off to insurance tomorrow! I have bcbs and I heard some people hear in 24 hours and some hear in a week or two. My BMI is just over 40 so hopefully it goes quick Once approved, they schedule approx. 2 weeks out

As creek said, summing is more of a bypass thing most of us sleevers don’t dump. I never have. I have some foods that don’t agree with me, but no dumping.

Thank you. They have stopped and I don’t get sick anymore either.

Well as I've said in other places, I'd cut a bit*h to get those results...

Bariatrix Florida. I paid $8899, but I think it's about $10500 now. Also Dr shillingford in FL, Dr Borland in Louisiana, Dr Umbach in Las Vegas are all under $11k I think. I used insurance for preop, but everything else except post op bloodwork was covered. Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app
