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.

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

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

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 use myoplex its very good 20 grams of protein
