Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

I have GERD and I got the sleeve. I even had gastric polyps from PPI use. I have not had any problems except when I forget to take my PPI. My reflux was and is controlled on Protonix. I was never told that there would be/ might be a problem. I am 5 1/2 weeks post op.

My sleeve was Nov 7th Starting weight- 293 Lost 9# preop-284, Lost 7# two week preop 277. Now down 23# since surgery- 254. I have lost at a more rapid speed since I increased my calories- 600-800/day. At least 64 grams of protein.

So I am 10 days post op and I am still on clears. My husband decides to cook a huge roast with all the veggies, mashes potatoes and cream corm. He even makes biscuits! Can't remember the last time he did this. So I have to be in the kitchen while he and my 13 year old daughter eat because our two year old will try to keep everyone from eating. I tell him to just save me the broth. I leave the room for the dessert course and he sends everything to my in laws! What was left- broth, he pours it out. He says he forgot!! All day I have smelled it cooking and I can't get any broth!!! Super irritated!! Thanks for letting me vent:-)

Praying all goes well for you Laura-ven! It will be over in a flash.

Sleeved 11/7 and doing well. I am sore but I plan a walk/outing each day. I am on clears for two weeks. I was supposed to drink skim milk for protein but I am not a milk drinker:-( I got the okay to do Isopure today so I hope I will start to have more energy. Highest calorie day so far 255. Still feel pretty good- no hunger.

I think Dr. Macik is great. He has a great record and his staff are very nice. He is very careful. I like that in a surgeon. I am a self pay due to insurance exclusions. He seems comparable to others in the area.

I am on the 7th too. Caught a cold from my son but no one seemed to care at pre op this morning. Hope all goes smoothly for everyone:-) Clear liquids tomorrow.

I am getting sleeve on Nov 7th with Macik:-)

I'm in Georgia! Having surgery Nov. 7th! I'll be a buddy too:-)
