Heartburn is the worst. It actually made me sick the other morning. I have been taking an over the counter med the last few weeks as I have ran out of the one I was given after surgery. I wish I had asked for more.

Sleeping Too Much
deltadawn817 replied to elizabeth12677's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I slept a TON on days 5-8. If I sat down I was sleep. My husband would laugh at me and say I think surgery made you narcoleptic. -
WEX classes are way more intense than people think. You also work harder than you think you are. I use to go but they have been cancelling classes where I live as they can't get/keep the enrollment up.

I saved some old clothes but not that much. I have bought smaller clothes in the past hoping to get into them someday ... Well those days have been arriving. I do tho tell myself to only use one pair of jeans in each size and sell the others that still have the tags on them.

When Can You Eat A Meal?
deltadawn817 replied to pinkiguana's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You will be able to eat your small meal just smaller portion(s) of it. Also I have found some things just don't agree with me anymore. -

Did Any One Else Have Back Pain Caused By Surgery?
deltadawn817 replied to CosmicVagabond's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had horrible back pain for about a full 3 weeks. I did have days here and there that I was ok. As soon as I could take a bath I was taking one a day plus my long hot showers. I would try to stretch my back out as much as I could with the hot shower water running on it. My husband was great during this time I had him running my back as much as possible. -
Rushed To Emergency With A Bowel Blockage! Need Advise From Other Sleeve Patients!
deltadawn817 replied to PJ713's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a friend that this would happen to and they would take a really hot bath and massage where the blockage was. They would do this almost ever day when it was really bad they would do this a few times a day but if you do a hot bath a few times a day make sure you moisturize your skin as it will dry out. -
I also went to Dr. Ortiz at Obesity Control Center. They are really good about emailing right back with prices and sometimes run specials for different things.

botox is it. My neighbor wanted to get some while I she was with me in Mexico but she chickened out. She calls hers her parking meter slot. -
I only used the gas X during the first week post op. I also just used them as needed. You will know when you need them and if they are working for you.

Pre Op Heart Check Month Before Surgery
deltadawn817 replied to readytobeslimxoxox's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
it is an EKG I would think. They have you undress on top and wear a gown with it open in the front. They they put sticky things on your chest upper like front shoulders, under a breast of them some on your legs and hook wires up to them and then run a machine for about 2-3 minutes and then you are done. -
Why Did You Choose The Sleeve Over The Others?
deltadawn817 replied to Amie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My sole choice with VSG as I was looking at lap band is people are now having great issues with excess scar tissue still forming years after surgery. Maybe people have found the sweet spot with their band and then all of a sudden can't find it again after being years out from surgery. Another this was people never have it removed because they are done with it. Why get it if you have no reason to get it removed later so why not do something forever. Also all my family is over weight. or become over weight once 40 or 50. -
