I was 315 and now im 285. I got the sleeve about a month ago. I chose the sleeve because im scared to death of the dumping that comes with bypass and all the vitamins. Of course if I over eat im sick but it isn't as bad as it could be. I also have ibs and rerouting my intestines probably wouldn't be a good idea

Some Days Easier To Eat Then Others
urbandecayno5 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im currently attempting to have the same thing(chicken and butternut squash) I had for dinner last night for lunch. Im finding it harder to stomach. Anyone else have this issue? Its super frustrating -
He's the head of bariatrics at good samaritian hospital in west islip. He definitely doesn't favor one over another. He holds a seminar with your options and tells you the positives and negatives of each and goes into detail on each surgery. I suggest you go to a few seminars at different places and see which surgeons you like the most

I also had dr. Cussatti he's great

The incision in/at the rim of my belly button is hard and swollen/red. Im not fully sure if its from me sleeping on my stomach, something I wore, or something I did. Nothing is oozing or crusty its just tender, red, and swollen. Im almost 4 weeks out and im freaking out. Does anyone else get this? Im worried its infected

3 Weeks Post Op An I Am Itching All Over
urbandecayno5 replied to shrinkinmama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No I looked it up and some people had that reaction..im guessing Its a sensitivity after surgery. I take some liquid benadryl when it gets super bad. Im almost 4 weeks out and I find its not happening as much though. Maybe its just gotta build up -

Gas X Strips
urbandecayno5 replied to urbandecayno5's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Walking is the only thing that helps(was so frustrating after surgery). Not trying to be mean but I just keep seeing people suggest it for surgical gas pain and im thinking is there something I missed? -

Retaining Fluid
urbandecayno5 replied to kellythestarr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If its gas from surgery gas x wont do anything. The gas is used to expand your abdomen and isn't put inside your stomach or intestines rendering it useless. Surgical gas is "not that kind of gas". The only thing that'll help is a ton of walking. I had to walk every 5 minutes it hurt bad. Good luck! -
