Did they repair the ulcer when u had ur sleeve? They repaired mine at the same time and i CAN NOT eat!!! EVERYTHING stays stuck even water. I was sleeved 4/17. I called the docs office and they say to let it heal but its awful pain!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

It could be a coue of things. It can be that ur eyes are dry, i would try using refresh otc drops. Or, are you diabetic? That also messes with ur vision. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I have hypothyroidism also. My understanding is that when ur hypo it slows down ur system and you gain weigh but when its hyper u loose weigh but the meds dont make u gain weigh. I dont know u might wanna ask ur specialist more about it. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I called the surgeons office and the nurse told me i had a hernia repaired and that most of patients that go through that process go through that. Nurse asked me to take a step back and go back to liquids. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I Was sleeved on 4/17 and i just started eating soft foods. My problem is that i have constant pain like right on my esophagus, where u get hunger pains, its awful. If i drink something it hurts till i walk and burp but if i eat its horrible, the food gets stuck there and it takes forever to go down, it feels like im choking. To make matters worse ur not supposed to drink anything so i just have to let the food sit there like 20-30 mins. Anyone has gone through this? Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was sleeved 4/17 and i went through the same thing, it was horrible. I would take a sip of Water and i would have to get up with each sip and walk around the living room for gas to come out, it would be stuck on my esophagus. Now, i can finally say its gotten better THANK GOD! I though it was gonna be a lifetime thing. I still have gas but not nearly as much, its gets better each day. Good luck!

I was sleeved with dr stowers also but i had to pay 10,950.00 since i dont have insurance but like claudia said if you have insurance even for your endoscopy they can file it medical and the price goes down. They are a great team of doctors and the hospital staff is great. The hotel they recommend you is very nice, clean and cheap. I flew in on monday 4/16 for my pre op and on 4/17 i was having my surgery, I flew in from nc. They did all paper work by mail and fax and the docs consult was by phone and the psych eval also. Very convinient and the good thing about it is that if you have problems you can always go back and see him. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Im still on day 9 so i havent done it but i just wonder if i mess up what would happen. Sent from my iPhone using VST

There is a forum here called Clothing Exchange. I believe they send each other clothes that are too big for them now, they just keep each other posted and that way they dont spend money buying clothes that are only going to last them a couple of months. You should look into it Sent from my iPhone using VST

Can anyone tell me when do you stop having this painful gas? I'm one week postop and I still have to get up and walk to get rid of the gas even if I swallow a small sip of water.

Premier protein from SAMs club. They are chocolate flavor and 30g of protein, they taste just like chocolate milk.

Am I the only one hungry on this liquid post op diet? I thought u would never feel hungry after surgery. I thought that after surgery u would have to force yourself to get anything in ur stomach. I was very nauseous the first 2 days but now I'm just starving. Could it be that my doctor didn't take out my ghrelin hormone?
