When I scheduled mine I had to pay 500 deposit and the rest I brought when I went so I had like two months to get the 5000.00 I would say if financing is needed then put it out the amount of months needed and just save..... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Have heartburn with almost everything I eat I take ppi... Started the 14 day treatment today my appetite is gone I haven't eaten in 3 days putting food in my mouth makes me gag... I don't know what to do I'm getting stressed I want to eat but my stomach says NO!!!!! I hate this heartburn its killing me..... Any suggestions please I'm in distress ....

Funny how one day makes a difference... I am 23 dpo went to doctor last week was told I had a UTI.... Started on bactrim liquid ( horrible taste)... Needless to say I was to take it 5 days but it took my appetite and had me very sick on top of that heartburn was in full effect I was miserable to say the least.....I stopped the med on day 4 I couldn't take it any more I've been taking prilosec for 3 days when had helped my heartburn today I feel like a million bucks I drunk a full glass of decaf tea in 30 min I feel great got on the scale and I'm down another 5 pounds...... So that's 26lbs for me.....so I am in a good mood to day no heartburn no sickness ....yea!!!!!!

Thanks!!!

Thanks so much!!!!!

He gives iv meds and believe me that's all you will need they bring them in like clock work you go home with pain meds antibotics and and antacid for you stomach meal plan Water and gatorade he told me he removes 80% he does 5 incisions on top the stomach which made bending over really easy they are really small mine healed quickly... The meds made me sleepy so I didn't want any but they come in like clock work with them.... Hope this helps

Thanks Lilmissdiva and rootman......I will try to nip it in the bud.... Now and hope it takes care of my issues

Prilosec is the one I started yesterday it says it's a 14 day treatment...

Check out my YouTube video of my experience it's under andkel30 and another lady recorded her hospital stay as well msmook1979 she is my friend on you tube her videos are really good check them out hers put my mind at ease

Good choice I went to him and I'm doing good he is a sweet Doc and I was never in any pain....

I'm not in LA neither do I have an answer as I had my surgery in Mexico so all that was by passed but I do hope someone answers welcome to the boards someone will answer from there

Had my surgery 2/22.... No regrets but I want to eat but then I think I got the surgery so I couldn't eat...the drinking at first took a lot of walking and patting my chest now I can drink with out that feeling in my chest. I want to eat I got clearence from my doc to move to soft foods.... I love my sleeve no pain no complications.... I just want to eat a Lil bit....

I would drink and didn't get the full feeling I wasn't hungry either but recently I drunk to much Water and I knew I had to much I felt full but my hunger has returned full force I'm hungry and the liquids wasn't keeping me statisfied.. But that was my first week I wasn't hungry at all so when I would drink I couldn't tell if I was full or not because I wasn't drinking that much but as soon as I did 4 oz I realized what full was. My sleeve is tricky....I've moved to soft diet had a crab leg today and I was full I was a Lil scared but it went down ok

I had that problem with liquids going down I would stand and walk around take small sips then pat my chest and burp myself... It has eased up now I can sip more with out getting that feeling but I have to keep burping myself like I'm a baby... Hope you get some answers welcome to the losers bench......
