HI everyone! I was sleeved on Tuesday - feeling really good since then. Getting all my liquids in - but this morning I have a very odd metal taste in my mouth. Any ideas? Has anyone had this? Thank you -

Need A Recommendation For Gastric Sleeve Surgeon In Oklahoma
eplawson replied to pasquini's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
That's my doctor! I'm getting sleeved on Nov 20th. I've heard great things about him. I'm so nervous - are you doing well? Was there any pain? I"m thinking I'll take off a week from work. I am 5'3" and 202 right now hoping to drop 60-70 lbs. So excited to hear input from someone else regarding Dr. B and share your experience!!! OMG I want to know everything -

That's my doctor! I'm getting sleeved on Nov 20th. I've heard great things about him. Were you on a pre-op diet? I'm talking to Stephanie today about diet but need to get some parameters from her before 11.20. I'm so nervous - are you doing well? Pain? Still at the hospital? OMG I want to know everything

Hunger Headaches After Vsg
eplawson replied to Jessica9190's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm so glad I found this - I am also worried about this. I get headaches to the point of them becoming migraines when i don't eat and that has me SO worried. My surgery is scheduled for 11/20 and honestly that's one of my biggest concerns. I appreciate the input from everyone and WILL cut out the caffeine - that's a really good point! I'm not on a pre-op diet (other than restrict carbs) I think it's because I'm hovering at 202-205 right now...but maybe if I start some of the changes now it will be easier after surgery! Thank you again!
