Hello all, I had my band taken out and sleeve done on June 6th 2012 My stomach hurts constantly I take prilosec twice a day and seem to have to eat to make my stomach not hurt. I swear I eat 6 or 7 tums a day..Has anybody else had this problem?

I have it also had my sleeve June 6th I think I am swallowing too much air and drinking too fast I drink coffee all day long. If you find out anything let us all know good luck to all.

Hello all I had my sleeve June 6, 2012 for the last week I seem to have so much air in my chest it constantly is making noise sounds stupid I know, has anybody else had this? thx

After some thought, it seems to be in my stomach which makes it hurt all the time.

I took one week off and felt pretty good though I did get a bit tired around noon for a few days, but as mentioned before everyone is different for me it was fine and I needed the distraction. Good luck in your journey

I am so sorry hoping things get better for your family

I was sleeved on june 6th so far I have lost 13 lbs I am very dissapointed I went from a band to the sleeve when I first had my band I lost a pound a day.I really thought that I would have lost more by now and I am NOT allowed to do any type of exercise except walking which I can hardly do I am having total knee replacement the end of this month I pushed this surgery because Ithought it would make my knee surgery easier if I were down 30 or 40 pounds but I guess thats not going to be the case and I really dont know how I could eat any less that i am already eating

I am 21 days post op and every 2 or 3 days I have so much bloating and gas even though I am taking 2 prilosec daily is this normal??

Hello fellow sleevers, I am 16 days post surgery and I don't think i could gag down another protein shake to save my life I am supposed to be getting at least 70 grams of protein a day and am not I was drinking myoplex and liked it and all of a sudden I cannot stand it any suggestions? Thank you in advance

Thank you all its nice to know I'm not alone

I am one week out and for some reason I find myself angry and frustrated with just about everything has anybody else felt this way? I am so mean I can hardly stand myself..

Good luck to you!!!

I also have this problem and am scheduled for knee replacement in July. My dr put me on norco because I could not take my mobic I was at the point where I could hardly walk I had my surgery June 6th. I ask the surgeon when I could start with anti inflammatories again and he said a month..

I knew I was going to have the sleeve and they would make me quit smoking so instead of being forced into it, I did it myself with nicotine patches I have smoked for over 40 yrs and tried several times (at least 8)to quit for some reason this time it has stuck with me. It is difficult but I am sure if you really put your mind to it you will succeed every day the cravings dont last as long. Good luck

I had my surgery on June 6th. Is it normal to be soooo tired and seriously I can hardly stand water it makes me sick and the smell of food makes me have to leave the house while everyone else has dinner.

I use myoplex its very good 20 grams of protein

I hope everything goes well for you..

Does everybody end up with hair loss

I just had my surgery June 6th I previously had a lap band that failed. I do not think I was mentally prepared for this surgery. I am depressed, nervous and my pain is worse than I thought it would be. I cannot take most pain medicines due to being allergic so am not sure what to do now. I was told 64 oz of fluid every day I just had some sugar free pudding didnt taste very good. I have noticed that I cannot tolerate the smells of food It makes me want to throw up. I am able to drink MYOPLEX protein drinks they are very good I get them at walmart. I cannot seem to get rid of the gas I have walked, jiggled and done just about everythink else I could think of any suggestions would be appreciated. Good luck to all

I had my surgery on Wednesday afternoon, I have been crying ever since I now know I was not mentally prepared for it. I have had a very difficult time since I just came home today and I hurt so badddd,
