  1. Hi! My name is Ashley and I just had my sleeve procedure done December 17th, 2010. I researched the sleeve since March, but now I am having a few issues that I do not remember reading about and I want to know if they are normal. First, HEARTBURN! I have never had chronic heartburn, but this almost constant burning in the back of my throat is so annoying! I have been taking Zantac and it relieves it for a couple of hours but it returns. I guess I need to try Prilosec, but I'm just wondering if anyone had this issue and if it gets better. Secondly, I cannot get any meat down. No matter how much I chew it, it will not go all the way down and I end up throwing it right back up. I'm scared I will never be able to eat normal foods again or that maybe my opening to my stomach is not big enough. Any advice? Thanks!
  2. I had mine Decmber 17th and am going through the same things. I stay thirsty but do not dare to gulp anything! I just sip on Water all day but I know I am not getting enough fluids. I was trying all different Protein shakes too, I actually just bought the carnation ones as well. They are cheaper and taste good plus they do have a lot of protein in them when you mix them. Any of you guys have problems with hearburn? It is the worst part of this whole procedure to me. Also, whoever said something about the eggs, I tried to eat a soft meat too and threw it right back up. I was scared thinking I would never be able to eat normal foods again. Glad to know someone else is having the same issue! Ashley
