Thank you for the suggestions...it is so tiring and right now i know I am not getting all my fluids in . It still hurts when liquid hits my stomach and im burping up soup etc. hours after Ive eaten it. If it wasnt for the diarrhea and reflux this would be perfect. Im not hungry at all and i even lost my craving for nicotene....just pray that one sticks.

Ive had awful diarrhea since day 2 post-op...my doctor never covered this. What do you take?

i thought of that but seems like i read somewhere no immodium....i just hoptd somtone may had been told what to do by their doctor,,,,thank you so much for the suggestion.

i had the same problem...was so hard to quit....i couldnt do it i cut down tremendously....the last few days b4 surgery i got an electronic cig and would take a puff here and there but the great news is since my surgery i havent even wanted a cigarette....i pray this sticks. Good luck you can do it i know its hard

just had surgery on the 19th and first day out couldnt swallow anything. Had a CT today and all was well. They sent me home but I have pain and nausea everytime i try n sip a drink. the acid reflu is awful. i am also so sore its hard to move. did anyone else have trouble early on....truthfully im a little scared,

i bought a lasko ceramic heater and so glad i did....im freezing now as i writr this and am so thankful for my heater...is a great investment.

so wonderful you found this sight. even though i have all the luxuries at hand the best one of all has been this website and the people on it. it sounds like you are soing great and i admire your determination. keep up the good work and take advantage of this awesome sight and the wonderful people on it.

Thank You Nick...nice to know Im not alone. Praying we both get better soon.

thanks yall...itstakin me most the day to get a few ounces of water down. its not excruciating pain but is painful...i wondered if having the band removed would cause problems but i hated the band. im able to keep the fluids down but isnt easy. i have diahrrhea real bad and i cant remember what they said do for that, i will do some chicken broth tonight, woohoo, happy thanksgiving:) i feel weak but walked up and down the driveway a little and threw the ball a few times for the dog. bless his heart he doesnt understand why hes been kenneled since i got home but he could hurt me hes so big. my stomach gurgles constantly...im having reflux....just miserable...i go back to work on dec 3rd...i just pray things will be moving along by then. glad to have you girls here...hope you can make the dec support meeting...would be awesome to make this journey with friends.

i am 3 days out still having pain and having a hard time swallowing. everytime i swallow it causes pain i can fel it all the way down. started having diahrrhea today which doesnt help. Not only that i have gained 7 pounds since surgery I am so swollen my hands look like Shrek hands. I just want to cry I feel so miserable...please tell me it gets better than this.

Hey all...Im going in on monday as well...Good Luck to all of you...Praying we all come out the otherside with no complications and a future of healthy lifestyles!

I am real concerned because I have sever allergies and need an antihistamine and decongestant on a daily basis, i was told by a pharmacist that I could use childrens liquid medicines but at my weight or even a normal adult Id be taking about a bottle a day and the cost alone would kill me. Does anyone have any suggestions...I cant go without my medicines living in Texas.

i have a nasal spray...nasonex....ill try the beconaise....thankyou:)

Writing your name down in my journal so I will remember you in my prayers. God is powerful and He can change this around for the better...hang in there my friend. All will be well.

Most tomatoe soups are really high in carbs....maybe that's why.

good luck ...sending prayers your way!

Im right there with you my friend....having my revison on the 19th. The way I look at it the band failed, no way id do the bypass so this is my only option. I guess I look at it this way, do nothing stay fat, do the revision and at least I have a better chance of losing the weight...have to at least give myself a chance. Whatever you do, good luck

NOV 19TH...I am so anxious...Im having a revision from a band...so worried it wont work but dont have the time or money for the RNY

WHERE DO YALL GET THE SYRUPS

I had a gastric band 7 years ago that was unsuccessful and now my surgeon has suggested a gastric sleeve revision. I am scheduled for surgery on the 19th but I am apprehensive about whether or not it will work. Is there anyone that has gone from a band to a sleeve. If so how did you do and what was the difference.
